car bought w JB+, getting wagner-esque ebay IC, oil change n blackstone analysis next Monday. Read so much about things I can do to the little 1.6L engine but hesistant in getting a Catless DP as I need to pass NJ emission. i planned on getting the car inspected next weekend. Anyway I can get S2 with intake, Cat or less DP w/o CEL or fail visual inspection and emission?

 

go catless.. once you do the swap, its pretty easy to swap the OEM pipe back in for inspection if needed (~40min start to finish) & the power gain from the tune+catless is worth 100%

mechanically it's def doable, but personally, it's a logistical nightmare, have to drop n pick up car at mechanic overnight...thanks for the input though...
