akrapovic evo + emission tests

hk328 · 02-14-2013, 05:37 PM

How are the folks with akra evo getting by with emission tests? Do you guys keep switching to the normal cat for the tests? Thanks!

urBan_dK · 02-14-2013, 06:55 PM

Do you have a CEL? Are you using a Delete-R? If these answer to either of these questions is yes, you will have to switch back to your stock midpipe.

Which cars need emissions? I thought it had to be like 5 years old or something.

hk328 · 02-14-2013, 07:22 PM

No I do not have one. I am considering this as my first mod in the near future.

I am aware of ecu programming that removes CEL light. But I was wondering more of the actual test. I guess it is not due even for early 2008 model owners.

With any high flow exhaust that throws a CEL, you need to either find a mechanical way around the problem or a tune.

On my other car with race cats/headers, I use extenders and mini-cat, so that it won't throw a code.

You can also get a tune to disable the O2 sensor monitor or decrease the sensitivity of the monitor. If you disable the monitor, it will show the monitor as not re-setting, but you should still pass.

Yep. Which is why I just had to get mine...but there is this thing called the Burger Motorsports DP Fix that works wonders if you don't have a tune yet, LOL.

Just had to do mine for a January registration of a 2008 M3.

On the Evo you cannot just remove the x-pipe section, you would have to put the entire exhaust back to stock unless you buy the Akra adapters.

hk328 · 02-15-2013, 07:57 PM

Ok. So it looks like there is no problem with passing emissions with akra evo. Thanks!

bape_sta206 · 02-15-2013, 08:23 PM

I was wondering the same but my friend said I shouldn't have a problem.

HighandDry · 02-15-2013, 09:51 PM

Umm, there's no way you are going to pass emissions without a fix.

It's going to throw a code- P0420 or P0430

duyh · 02-15-2013, 11:17 PM

you dont even have to worry about that for years to come..

1MOREMOD · 02-15-2013, 11:19 PM

Akra evo + tune/fix of course. Not just akra evo alone.

Every Evo system comes with adapter so you don't have to buy anything.

Evo system can be converted to Slip-On in 1h.

If anyone needs those adapters or missing them we have a few sets of those ...

HighandDry · 02-17-2013, 10:36 AM

Has any one done extenders or mini cats with the Evo to clear CEL?
