+1 I need one too...
Most emmisions is tested through the OBDII system (at least in MA anyway), which takes readings from your post-cat O2 sensor to see if the cat is doing its job. It shouldn't be that hard to trick the system, just need to run the correct voltage back through the system. Ideally, it should be 0.45V, and you won't throw a CEL.

i think you meant 160 shipped, lol... not 1600... or else thats the highest gross test pipe ever, lol.
my bad, I read the quote wrong.


1600 is for the chip work and the test pipe with labor. IS 1049 TOO MUCH FOR ARP TEST PIPE?

But this is all I am doing to the car CHIP and TEST PIPE..... am i missing something else? they asked if I wanted a switch for 2 programs... dunno.

did you guys know that the ice caps are melting and soon half of north america will be under water? I know emissions suck but if within 50 years the ocean rises 75 ft. we wont be able to drive our audis or eat for that matter.

sry man most likley not gonna happen. as they melt, it takes more and more to melt em. it isnt a liniar system. there is such a thing as regional warming. placews heat up adn cool down. for the past 2 weeks we have had low temperatures in norcal that are almost unheard of. go to boston and for a week in december it was wet and relativly warm. just think about it, if what your saying had a great chance of happening, there would be a lot more fuss about it. our government may seam stupid, but they do and know a lot more than you think

tho i do agree with you that it is kind of a stupid way to pick up power. i have never been all for doing little illigal things for a litttle power. in my mind, if ur gonna do something illigal to ur car, make it worth it

Did you ever stop and think that they might melt regardless of our driving habits. Man has been on earth for a few thousand years. The earth is billions of years old. How the hell does anyone know how the earth should be now as opposed to the way it was or the way it will be. We had an ice age. What caused that? Too many mastadons driving around in escalades. The earth is a living thing too. Living things change and die. Thats life.

Actually cows pollute with methane gas more than our cars do. A4todamaxif you are asking me how long the test pipe took, about 3 hours, but I did used to build $35,000 custom motorcycles so I'm pretty good with tools. It's not really technical, it's just a pain in the *** getting to the bolts.
