Yeah it passed the Annual state inspection, we have the same that m4a1mustang mentioned. It wasn't hooked up to a sniffer but they give it the once over.
I guess to put this to rest, yes your cat back exhaust should be 100% legal if you have stock cats. If you replace the stock cats with either HFC or a long tube header system you are technically not street legal. Long tube headers will give you some trouble passing inspection because it gets rid of your cats completely and any moron will be able to see that if your car is on a lift. The HFC shouldn't give you any trouble passing as long as it's not hooked up to a sniffer and your not throwing any codes. |

PA Law is just a visual inspection. Cats are technically illegal to be removed unless there is something wrong with them, but if you have HFC's you will pass the visual.
I have had headers, hfc, and exhaust on my car for like 3 years now and have never had problems passing the visual (my car likes to throw cel codes though but that's a different story). |

But I agree with your comment...unless there's some sort of "**** cop", most don't care as long as you are observed acting a bit crazy. |

My only reason for commenting was to point out how the Db level for motorcycle noise allows for a lot louder exhaust...a noise level if found on a car would merit a ticket. |

In a nutshell if you live by the term "there is a time and place for everything," you will be fine! In addition I sent you a PM a few hours back pertaining to this along with your question about the cats. Do not hesitate to ask if you need anything... Thank you, Tony |
hmmm. interesting, wonder what dB ratings each state requires as noise? Does anyone know if they are 1/3 octaves, and if they are A weighted. Do they look at RC or NC curves over the sound pressure levels? anyone work for the state emissions?

i know in pa they do the smog test, it should pass. it probably depends on where you take it as to whether they look underneath your car.

You could just come down and register it in AZ lol.
They don't do ANY sort of testing... :happydance: Crazy I know. Just like how you can be declared Legally Blind, but get a Drivers License here... :ugh2: Then just drive back to PA. I've done it myself, its a wonderful drive. :tup: |

It is illegal for sport-bike owners to modify their emissions and exhaust. Exempt from modificatins are Harley's.....go figure! |
I recently installed FI CBE and LTH...am I screwed when it comes to emissions? I live in MD by the way.
