Quick question with obd2 do they look under your hood when you get emissions done? Or just look for codes? Planning on doing a down pipe and doing the nice spark plug gape trick with the rear o2.


Thanks

I think it might depend on where you live and how they do things over there. Last time I was at the emission test the guy only used the OBD2, checked my gas cap and put that thing inside the muffler. The hood was never opened. I am in AZ.

 

Depend s on your state. Some states do visual inspections, some don't. Some use sniffers and rollers, some don't. Where do you live?

 

Arizona also. East of phoenix. Sweet might be in luck than

 

Also would noise raise suspension?

 

Sorry suspicion?

 

Not necessarily. Like I said, depending on the state you live in, the guys at the garage will do a pre-defined set of tests. They don't know what a B5 is supposed to sound like, so if its louder than stock its not gonna matter

 

Alright sweet thanks

In TX they are supposed to do a visual check to ensure the cat is still there...

I passed.

 

In VA, we have emissions every two years if you go to a "reputable" shop lol. I kept my stock cat so in case I fail, I can just put it back in to pass and then swap the test pipe afterwards.
