Got a question? Here's where to ask.
Before you read further, here are some things to note. Keep in mind that these are FACTS and aren't just WBT running his mouth:
Quote:
1a.) It is a violation of FEDERAL law to remove, hollow, or tamper with your cats. That means that it is still illegal to mess with them even if you are in states that don't check in all areas. Technically moving your cats for a long tube header install is tampering and therefore illegal. This is because cats operate best at a particular temperature and if you move them closer to or further from the engine then that changes their effectiveness. Cat location is not always checked for in NJ.
1b.) Today's catalytic converters are a lot more efficient than the old pellet-style ones of yesteryear. Don't expect a ton of power if you remove them, but expect a pain in the ass when you go to inspection.
2.) It is ILLEGAL to run a fraudulent inspection sticker or one you bought from a guy who knows a guy. Do not ask on this site where you can do that. Anybody who can answer you will probably not do so on a public forum. And yes, members of law enforcement organizations read the site regularly.
3.) State inspection facilities have been known to fail people with SLP Loudmouth and other very loud exhaust systems. If you have a loud exhaust, be prepared to have them bounce you.
4.) Tinted front windows are not legal without a medical reason to back it up. If you go to inspection, you will fail. If you leave your windows down, they will simply roll them up and fail you. If you pull the window fuse and say it's broken, guess what. They will fail you.
5.) If you have a collector's registration you will be issued a triangular inspection sticker and you will not have a formal inspection. They will only check to make sure that you have a working odometer. Please see the registration sticky if you think that this may be an avenue you wish to pursue.
Fake-quoted for readability.

If you have some more facts and have evidence to back it up, feel free to post it up and I will add it to this post. Your original post may be pruned but I will add your username to the fact so that people know who to talk to for clarification.

If you have questions about what will pass, go for it. If you have some tips about how to get a car through state inspection without breaking any laws, do that here as well.
