Emissions in Connecticut

Need to take my f80 to emissions in CT. Currently stage 1 and have catless downpipes and a muffler delete. Anything I can do on bm3 before I go? Is it just flash back to stock tune?

I do not have any check engine lights on. I do have these current codes on bm3 though. Are any of these to be concerned about or will effect emissions? Any insight or help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Bm3 will not show readiness, even if you had cats. Really annoying feature btw.

If you flash to stock, you still won't get readiness as you're catless

You won’t pass emissions even with a stock tune because you’ve removed your primary cats.

A lot of states are now starting to check the ecu to determine whether the engine software is oem/stock. They do this by looking at the checksum values. For BM3 that means you’d have to reflash the stock tune AND relock the ecu. MD starting doing this in 2020-2021. However, in your case, doing this won’t help because you’ve removed your stock cats. I’d ask you why the cats were removed but, because you’ve also removed your muffler, I know the answer.
