Not many if you need to worry about emissions for state inspection. You can do what I did which was pair the Akra with a xpipe that has HFC's that won't throw a CEL. Although I had a little mishap with that as well, since on my drive to get inspection the Fabspeed HFC"s I'm using (promised by Fabspeed not to throw a CEL) threw a CEL. So I failed the emissions part, had to clear the code, then drive for awhile including a cold start and re-took the emissions part at another shop and passed. I hear AA now offers an HFC that's supposed to not throw a CEL, not sure how that's working out for people. I guess that's the game you play when messing with emissions control systems
