What do i need to do to have my manic stage 2 tune pass Pa inspection?
Thanks

 

just pray. I am going to take my car in this month in MA

 

Curious how it turns out for you. Do you have a catless downpipe?

 

I don’t know yet. I will bring it to inspection place soon within this month. I have CNT catless DP + Manic II No cat No resonator.

 

Thanks. Please post back after your inspection. Mass is more stringent than Connecticut, so if you can pass, I should be good

 

Sure! Will do. One of my friend has 500 Abarth, He couldn’t pass the inspection for three time. Right now he got R on his inspection sticker for over month.

 

if they do under hood and no check engine light you should be fine
but if they put sniffer in tail pipe theyll catch that you dont have any cats.. probably have to throw on stock dp and/or exhaust to pass. stock exhaust would be a lot easy to throw back on but i dont know if it would qualify.
No more inspections here, but can you go to an independent shop to have them sign off? may be a little more lenient

 

Even no check engine light still in trouble. My friend’s car got tune to eliminate check engine light but inspection place hook up and could find (Decat downpipe) from OBD2. It showed (CAT,O2s) so my friend’s car couldn’t pass the inspection. Mine as well got tuin from Manic2 no check engine light on dash anymore but let see .... !!

 

I looked up regulations in PA for another user. Pretty sure they allow one monitor not ready as long as it doesn't throw a CEL and you can still pass.

 

Does that mean i can leave it in map B and not do anything?

Thanks

 

I can't guarantee anything but it's worth a shot. I live in NY and that's exactly what I do. Passed twice now and two different shops I have no connections to.

I found this: http://www.drivecleanpa.state.pa.us/docs/readiness.pdf

Under "Readiness Monitors": "

For model year vehicles 1996-2000, a vehicle with
two monitors that are “not ready” will be accepted for the OBD test and the test can continue; for
model year vehicles 2001 and newer, only one “not ready” monitor will be accepted for testing and
the test can continue. "

 

Isyvibes, I don't know if the info below from the PA DEP will help you or not.

Thanks for the info. I did around 15k last year so i wont qualify for the 5k exemption.

 

Car passed inspection. Left it in map b and didn't have any trouble.
