I'm still feeling bad for that pet squirrel... and his family. He got reported, and you see what happened!
In NC there use to be emissions testing through OBD2 in more counties, my county is not longer one of them, but part of the annual inspection, even though safety only, includes a visual of emissions components. On my RS I've had to point to the cat on the down pipe because the inspector thought it was removed.
Like they're going to do spot checks on your emissions system and arrest you if it's modified ?
Only places I'm aware of that do crap like what we're talking about is Cali cause that state is out of control, my home state of NJ I left 20 years ago and they don't do spot checks like Cali they just do state inspections I believe yearly.
Both controlled for years by the same ruling class, ironically. Colorado does emissions testing but it's private and it's just pass/fail you're not getting cited on the spot if the guy realizes you have modified exhaust ?
Speaking of which, I was messing around the other day. There's a windows program called OBDwiz I believe I grabbed for plugging in the wife's Jeep and mine when I need to pull codes, run diagnostics and such. It was listed alongside Forscan as an alternative.
Well, it also had about a $90 "advanced" package you could download after registration and activation of your license for pulling other stuff normally not available. I figured what the hey. I think I can actually look at Jeep live emissions with it on hers and run an emissions test on her Renegade with it ?
Can't do it on old faithful, the Grand Cherokee it's too old. However newer vehicles they run the emissions tests right through the OBD port and this looks like it may allow you to do it. Looks to show fuel mixture etc. might be worth grabbing for the Ford as well for guys running afoul of the law with their exhaust system ??‍
Check ahead of time.
So half the drivers in the Charlotte area I assume? Lived out that was for a few years. The 77/485 area was a disaster of drivers at rush hour. Probably the worst place to know how to drive ever.
Is it a “LAW” ?
Regulation most likely because they fine people or crush their cars. Never seen an article about people going to jail.
Being part of the Clean Air act, law.
It also increases mpgs slightly as it takes up combustion space. There are many benefits. Just curious really. Wont delete it but would like a bullet proof design from the aftermarket like the powerstrokes got. One and done concept.
