Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers are here!

Here is a question for all of the local Dallas people... What's the plan on passing TX inspection with the FI LTH installed? Will you have to rip these out and put HFC back on every year for the inspection?

You should be fine as long as you dont throw a check engine light. I'm unaware of anywhere in texas where they do tailpipe emissions testing on newer vehicles, but i think its on a county by county basis. I plan to try with the LTH (and pick a good place to do it at), and if I ABSOLULTELY have to im keeping my stock cats and headers just in case.

edit: the car is going to noticebly smell like fuel regardless, so whoever is doing the inspection should prob not be an *******!

Here they completely check the car.

measuring CO2 and checking the normal rate.

putting it on a lift and look around underneath it. which will end up them going lulwhut? at the LTH

Visual inspection here is suppose to require the car to be lifted, but many to most shops do not do it so the only time they look under a car is if they have room.
