    Default Passing emmissions

    Never had a car I really had to worry about it, and so far including my truck with headers and hi flo cats from the highway sniffers.

    But kinda eyeballing a supercharged car that has a aftermarket exhaust. Dealer states it doesn't pass emissions but will with the original exhaust which is included....

    I need to just go and look at it. I have a hard time believing just bolt on stuff past the cats would matter, so I'm assuming it's at least mid pipes that don't use a cat I'm guessing. If it's a full exhaust all the way to include headers that don't fit oem I'm probably not going to want to mess with the expense of swapping them out periodically.

    I'm assuming I would have to go to a facility the first time before relying on just passing the highway onramp sniffers in the future?

    Dealer ad says it?s a tow away?

    Probably because by law they have to provide a passing emissions or a voucher.

    What motor is it and how new. Import or domestic
    It is mostly likely a bad tune the 800 for a good tune on a forced induction motor saves engines
    I ran for 3 Dyno emissions cycles completely catless in my subi on a good Dyno based e50 tune
    You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.

    My feedback add 11-12 ish before the great servpocaylpse of 2012

    Just buy a place in Gilpin county and you won’t need emissions

    You know why emissions places have such short daytime hours?

    2012 nismo 370z supercharged claiming like 500 horse.

    Would like to probably get it returned anyways to something conservative.

    Really just seems like having no cat is the issue when they do the inspection at an Aircare facility. So, you could probably get away with it like you said

    My guess is that the guts from the catalytic converter were removed for increased flow, or it was simply deleted. It could probably be made legal with the increased performance, but the original owner didn't want to pay for it. If their only concern was trying to wrench more HP out of it, what might the original owner put that engine through?

    Have dealer pull codes and provide them to you. Aircare will obd2 into it and if your ecu throws a code it won't matter if you have a cat.
    Contact a nismo speed shop and ask them what they think.
