Any way to "cheat" inspection?

[Grabber Blue Gt]

Well I have been on this long debate on whether I should remove my headers or not for inspection purposes, and Jim Jr. at JDM suggests it would be better to just put the stock system back on, as they have had problems even with metallic cats not passing. I am not sure 100% how this works, but I believe when you go for an inspection they check through the OBDII port and it checks to make sure all the 02 sensors are working properly and making sure your car isnt throwing any codes.... any suggestions on how to pass or even if I find someone to "help me out" will he actually be able to pass me?

Yes, register your car outside NYMA, unfortunately you have to drive upstate every year for a sticker though

Thats why ive always held back about buying headers, ide luv a set of nice longtubes but i dont think mine would pass either..Before i inspect my car i reload stock tune/reinstall orig airbox, and drive her about 200mi to reteach computer..itsa pain @#$%$ but i can deal w/once a year..

I suggest driving a little north to Westchester and finding a gas station that will do it for a little extra cash. There are tons of places that will inspect the car without having to remove a thing. I wouldnt even consider removing the headers if I were you.

Shoot me a PM. I know someone that can solve your problem . He can e-mail you a tune to use for emissions

There is a much easier solution IF you know someone that ownes a shop. When you hook up a car to the NYS inspection mach it checks the ready-ness of the car. IT DOES NOT know what kind of car it is!!! So you could hook up a civic to the mach for a Mustang. Only high end model cars generaly have the vin etched in the computer that can be read thru the OBD2.

Go to your local garage with a Hundo spot and pretty much anyone would inspect it for ya. Any one these days are all about money. Good luck and mod the shit outta the car. Dont let the inspection stop you from having fun!

05 mustangs are very difficult to sneak though with their emissions controls. I had issues getting my car passed since I am not running cats. I actually had to get a completely different tune to get the car to pass.

Has to be something available in the tune

I have L/T's with H/F Catts and throw no codes for the OBDII

You got it...I know a few people that have done this for a few years...

I've heard that quite of few shop owners/inspectors in NYC have gone to jail for doing this. And VIN's have been imbedded in vehicle PCM's for years. All have the VIN imbedded now.
