Passed my inspection yesterday with my 07 GT with a CAI, BAMA tune (87 Street, w/ request to make NYS inspection ready) and JBA LT's with shorty high flow catted H.
Failed the first time and got a 10 day. Had to use the non-fouler method to pass. After the fail, my mechanic showed me the live monitoring on his scanner and my high flow cats were doing nothing. The rear O2's voltage readings on both sides were identical to the front ones. My mechanic said I should call JBA and ask for a refund for the price difference (~$285.00) between the catted and non catted pipes, or a new set of pipes with working cats. I highly doubt JBA will do anything for me though.
Regardless, I had no issues connecting to the inspection computer with my tune either time.

So you switched to the stock tune at the inspection station and tried again?

Who tuned the car? What was it tuned with? Do you know of anything turned off in the tune?

This is the info I'm looking for.

ETA- I see you said you brought it back and no comms again. Was the stock tune installed or did you switch back to your previous tune?

PS- Fast5- that BAB Saleen is one damn fine looking vehicle! WOW!

read this elsewhere, anyone hear of this?

We were fortunate enough to know the service manager at the inspection shop. He says this has become a pretty big problem.
His solution was to call Albany and get a manual override of the emissions portion of the test. BUT it was made very clear that this is was one time deal! We would have to find a solution by next year.

I am tuning with SCT Pro Racer, I am getting a no communication with the machine with custom tune. I believe it will communicate with stock tune but I have no egr and no rear o2's. I have a hellion single turbo setup, no cats. Any suggestions on how to pass? Do mil eliminators work? I figure if I only have the egr monitor not ready but the rear o2's are ready, I would pass due to having only 1 monitor not ready. Does this sound correct? Any help is appreciated.

I took my 04 Cobra in for inspection yesterday. When I got to the dealer, the guy asked me if I had a tuner on the car, and told me that almost all guys with a tune have been failing inspection due to the new software/system NYS is using.

He recommeded that I put the stock tune back on the car, put some miles on it, and then come back for the inspection.

I'm glad he gave me the heads up before pulling my car into the garage, but i figured what the hell, I'm already at the dealer, might as well hook it up and see what happens.

Lucky for me, my car passed without any hiccups!!!! Performance mods to the car include:

Posi Ported blower, polished & ported Elbow & throttle body
Billetflow 3 Idler pulley kit, snub Idler & 2.76 non slip pulley
Metco 4 lb lower pulley kit & 3.20 alternator pulley
Mafia predator
SCT tuner 3, with customer dyno tune by Pete at Peformance Dyno
K&N fipk kit
LP larger heat exchanger
TR6 plugs
Kenne bell 40 amp BAP with wiring upgrade & FRPS disc & spare FRPS
Bassani X pipe with high flow cats, & catback system
MIL eliminators

Good luck to everyone else who is trying to pass NYS inspection!!!
