any exhaust problems?
hello, just curious if anyone has had any problems passing emissions after installing a full free flow exhaust, or superchip microtuner or afe cold air intake, or any combination of them all. that is going to be my set-up, so I thought I would ask. Thanks. I love this site!!!

They dont test emmisions here in Texas so I dont know first hand, but from I have heard from a few folks up in Canada who have passed with straight pipes, open element air filters, and chips. If I remember right one of them said that his readings actualy were better than they were with the stock setup.
Dont ask me, just relaying the info.

It depends a lot on what the testing facility is looking for. Some states do a visual inspection to verify that everything is intact, like that catalytic convertor. Some merely test the exhaust for opacity, and the mods listed won't hurt in that case.

i was told when i removed my muffler a couple of weeks ago is that if your truck has(had) a cat, they will not emission test it.that is why i just settled for the removal of my restrictive stock muffler and straight-piped it.
