Most tunes will supress the fault light but will prohibit catalyst and heated o2 from going "READY" therefore the car will not pass. I've been through this before, what i suggested in my first post is the only "LTH" setup that will pass emissions.
Sorry, this is just not true. Prohibiting the catalyst monitor from going "READY" is all you have to do. In states that allow one not-ready monitor, you will pass. I have downpipe equipped E90 M3 and a downpipe equipped E90 335xi. Both are self-tuned and in both I disable catalyst monitor readiness in exactly the same way that professional tuners do.

It's not magic. It's not even rocket science
