NJ inspection - test pipes
Need some advice here. I have test pipes and the Carly app. My inspection expired last month. Can I use the Carly app to clear the CEL before going for inspection?
If not, can anyone recommend a shop that will pass me? |

Clearing CEL won't pass. And no shop will pass you. Your best bet will be to buy o2 readiness tune from someone like bpm, evolve or alpine and then going to any local shop and not the state inspection center since they do visual test too.

No one is going to give you a tune to trick an inspection center, its a $500,000 fine. Revert back to stock tune and stock X pipe. Complete the drive cycle and get it inspected.

It took me forever to get the car inspected and I had to wait far too long to enjoy that sound again. Now I can finally enjoy our Staten Island traffic. Have you gotten it to pass yet?

- new ess cable ( previous owner gave me a DCT cable. Lied, and told me it was for the ECU as well) - secondary airpump ( once I defaulted back to stock tune a CEL came up for this) -maf hose with sensor. ( and then this after the shop had my car for over a week even though I said to replace it anyway because I don't want $150 hose to be the reason the car sits in a shop all weekend ) - GUYS TIRE BUY!!!!!( The place on hylan kept fucking lying to me saying the o2's weren't ready for whatever reason. They probably wanted to make some money 'looking at it') Cool $1000 inspection. 😎 Oh and I'm talking about how the test pipes make traffic enjoyable. Gotta downshift every overpass on the BQE. I'm in Eltingville so I religiously do it at the train station as well. Since your car is quiet maybe I could make some recordings and put it on a USB so you can play exhaust noises through your speakers like a real bmw lol. Let me know how the inspection goes. Unfortunately I'm an expert on the subject now so I'm sure I could help if you run into problems. |

Just trust me and take my advice on this one. Flash back to stock now and do the bmw ftp drive cycle. I can send you a link if you have trouble. You'll have to cruise at different speeds for different durations which is the tricky part. You need to drive beteeen 20-30 mph for 3:15 consecutively .The best location for it is to start on Arthur kill road during a time it isn't busy. Start by family fruit and take it toward big nose kates. By the time you make it to Page Ave you should be good. After that get on 440 and take it toward the turn pike. I'd get on that for a solid 30+ minutes at a NO MORE than 60 mph and no less than 40. Never exceeding 3000 rpms at anytime is crucial as doing so will reset the drive cycle and all your luck on Arthur Kill Road catching the light's will be for nothing!!!! Lol. By the time you get back to the Island doing all those things you should satisfy the drive cycle and it should only take a few more drives of turning the car on and off ( about 3) to make all O2 sensors ready. This can be a major pain so don't want until the last couple weeks to do it. |

Ended up purchasing a spare X pipe and passed inspection. They plugged into the OBD port but didn't look underneath the car at all... I'm going to look into some tunes now...
