Actve Mid Pipe and Emissions

Damage Inc · 01-15-2017, 12:25 PM

In TN we have an annual emissions inspection. If I go with the AA mid plus rears then will I have an emissions issue? thanks

I don't know specifically about Tennessee, but the exhaust is so easy to put on and take off of this car that you shouldn't worry about it. I Put the AA mid pipe on my car in about an hour in my garage, on jack stands. If the state gives you trouble, throw your stock exhaust back on the car, pass emissions, and put the AA stuff back on. I'm willing to bet they will plug the OBDII connector in, see no emissions codes, and pass your car.

AA midpipe will pass OBD test

Misleading. AA midpipe removes secondary cats (failing visual), which will fail states that visually check as part of the test.

I said it passes the OBD test not visual

Visual is a hot or miss kind of thing depending on the operator

Hopefully they won't be doing visual testing when I will be needing to get it done. Getting my system in 2 weeks
