I’m in MA, currently have test pipes (primary cat delete) and cannot pass because of no cats/o2s. Planning to switch to a catless x-pipe but either way you have to swap your factory x-pipe/cats back in every year to pass inspection.

oh wow even if you get a tune like bpm or something similar that's why I ask because I know we can't do anything here in mass thanks for the info

Chances are you'll have to swap it out. Which really isn't so bad

I'm in MA. You need your catalyst monitors to be passed for you to pass obd inspection. The tunes you are thinking of turn off the CEL for the rear o2 sensors for those people that are catless in states that don't require inspection. You will fail with that tune since your catalyst will never go "ready".

You either need stock cats in the car swapped out each year or if you are catless you can try rear o2 spacers and if the cel is off and you check rediness and catalyst is ready then you go get inspection quick. The spacers won't always keep the light off. They just help.

ok thanks for that information that answers the question I probably just get the mpe like I had in my 335 if that still not good enough then i get the xpipe

Are you catless now? An mpe is just the rear section (mufflers) that doesn't affect obd rediness.

I just want some sound for the m stock exhaust So quiet for my taste but dont want to loose that confidence that I'm not going to pass inspection and all that good stuff lol

Oo. Yea the M in stock form is too quiet. You can't hear this great engine. Just leave the xpipe stock then. Buy a rear section. I have one for sale and I'm in MA if you are interested. I also can do install.
