Does the Thermostat have anything to do with the inspection? I put a 160* one in last yr even tho it says "NOT legal for pollution controlled vechicles". will i run the risk of failing with it? I can't see how that could affect anything.

I'm thinkin of installing some Mid Length Pacesetters Headers that bolt to the factory Cats, will i still be able to pass with them? i kno u can't pass with LT's, but how bout the shorties?

other then that i have managed to stay with in "jesery guidlines" with my car even tho i would love to throw some LT's, rip off the cats, and tint my car out. Damn NJ, with all the trees we have u wouldn't think emmisions would be so important! lol
The thermo effects emissions because your car will run cooler. The factory thermo temp is set by what gives the least emissions, and a colder one makes your engine run at less than optimal emissions levels. Be sure to drive around a bit before you show up for inspection and you should be OK.

If your cats haven't moved then you should be good IIRC.
