For those without primary cats GA??

What are you doing to pass emissions?

Re-installing stock x pipe? Or, other?

Appreciate your feedback.

Thx!

Yep. I've got my stock xpipe in my outdoor storage closet and I throw it back on, clear the codes, drive around for a few miles (I think like 40? triggers readiness) then swing by an emissions tester.

I’m TN, not GA, so not sure if you all have stricter places/tests. But I was worried about the same.
I have primary cats deleted on OEM setup and have an engine tune. I pass without having to change anything. Car passes all OBDII tests. The inspectors barely wave the mirror at the car so the visual inspection is rarely a concern.

Stage 1 or stage 2 (catless) tune? I’m due and would love not swapping my challenge hi flo cat for the oem.

Not that it helps in GA, but I just passed in TN with a Challenge X-Pipe with 2 hi-flo cats and an Alpine Stage 2 tune. No O2 readiness, but rest passed and I got the smiley face of approval.

So thankful I don't have to spend 3 hours swapping the x-pipe twice to pass.
