...in protecting the environment. Yes, its inspection time, and I am 110% sure I will fail with flying colors. SES Light for rear 02 sensors (which was tuned out, but came back
for the same thing ) and exhaust with a wicked o-zone-layer-slayer smell and tone that will disrupt any kind of peace... the thing is, the car has LT's and cats along with the AIR system reattached, but what I'm wondering is... I hear the stories, the pleads, and the testimonies but no definitive answer. Sure, the outcome may vary depending on the inspection station + inspector, but how does one get by inspection with these types of things? My recent lack of interest in dealing with cars in general has gotten the better of me, but when I finally spent a good 5 hours cleaning and detailing it inside and out, I've noticed that I am due for inspection this month.
Let's add a little to this situation. I've been doing some "window-shopping" for a new exhaust setup cuz the two year old Pacesetters I have installed is damn near close to breaking apart (thank you non-ceramic-coated headers), and for the past 2 years Ive dealt with an unfixable rattle due to a poorly-made Hooker catback. Anybody have luck passing with mid-legth headers + cats? I may be balancing the scales here with sacrificing tone for cleanliness, but would it be worth the hassle in the long run?
