Just curious to know how strict the NJ inspection is regarding aftermarket exhaust. My exhaust is pretty much all stock except for a Spintech muffler. My car never failed in the past, and it even passed when I used to have a Flowmaster muffler (which is even louder than a Spintech).

Thanks!

you should be fine. i would recommend a private shop if you are worried though, usually more forgiving than state facilities.

my supra passed with a very loud 2.5 inch catback with a straight through muffler(see video). My t/a with the flowmaster did too. Well it didnt pass but they didnt say anything about the exhaust

i dont think you can really fail for loud exhaust. as long as its legit, cat(s), not rusted through etc. and passes emissions they dont care. but like Adam said go to a private inspection facility, they should pass you no problem as long as you have no engine lights.

NJ accepts the federal standard, so any system that has a fed number attached to it can be used in NJ.

Are we not Kalifornia standard now? (higher than the feds)

Am I the only one that looked forward to inspection day so I could hear my exhaust reverberate throughout that giant open garage and rock everyone sitting in the waiting area with you?

I miss my Iroc...:sad:
