off road h pipe

[RideThePony2004]

i currently have mac mufflers as my exhaust set up. i want it louder tho...lol

if i get a mac off road h pipe....would i still pass emissions and inspection?

No.

You either need connections or get high flows or just get a magnapack or borla catback

The way emissions/inspection works is that the cars OBD16 port tells the computer wether or not you have cats by checking for a MIL with the back two cats. A MIL kit or tuner will turn those off and trick the computer into thinking you have functioning cats. So if you install them you can pass only if your mechanic doing the inspection doesn't look under the car to see if you have cats or not. If he does then your S.O.L. but if not your in the clear. A few HIPO shops in my area tend to advert their eyes when they "inspect" the car because they are car nuts as well. So best bet get a MIL kit for $30 and find a cool mechanic.

yeah, if you get the MIL kit, you will be fine, as long as yea, they dont look under the car lol

Yeah MIL eliminators from American Muscle. I did the splice in and they worked fine. I read that some times the plug in's don't work.

just don't get them from American Muscle...I got mine from them and they did not work...Not worth the trouble to put the car up on the lift to take them all...

Ohh, well they have a splice in one now and that worked for me. As I said i read that the plug in ones sometimes don't work.

I think its really a hit or miss, some cars take them some don't.

Those are just plug in, pretty simple to install. The splice in ones require a little more work. Let me know how they work out for ya.
