Good call! Avoid the headaches in the first place. We'll see how I end up getting this resolved. At least I have some time. Maybe I just need to move :mad:

I appreciate the input! No hate here, someone has to look out for the air quality! Just don't turn me in! ;)

:iagree: Those things are pointless, especially up here. They drink gas/diesel and get in the WAY!

Wow, that is serious. VA is such a crazy state when it comes to cars. Living in Fredericksburg, I would see all kinds of jacked-up pickups that are nowhere near being street legal. You throw a...

Yeah, thats what I am hoping, but I have two main concerns:

-The way the exhaust is setup, the cats will be after the 2nd o2 sensor, which to an inspector, will look fishy.

-The GTM tune is...

That is true, a little worrisome. I will have to look into how to make everything line up. I don't want to have issues with insurance, or really any other agencies. Who knows, maybe it would pass...

Thanks guys. That is sort of what I figured. Guess I might as well spend the cash up front, rather than shelling it out to the local government.

As for emissions inspections, they just do a check...
