Ah man thats a bummer.....emissions suck...

I have yet to get my car inspected or emissions......I just drive around without it inspected or emissions....lol....I couldnt pass emissions and unfortunately the Pittsburgh city it is required...if you fail one...you dont get the other....I passed safety inspection no problem

But about a 20 min drive out side of the city the surrounding counties are emissions exempt....

I really dont care.....i'll pay the fine if I got caught.....but have yet to get pulled over for no stickers...

true, im lucky that my title is florida and I can just register it to a family house. Im sure the sniffer will pass but its not the point, I dont want them to grind my gears or even touch it.

I had to leave the stock down pip for emissions but now Im registered back in florida Ill be going BPU. From that point in a year or so Ill be going single. I might wait till the twins blow.

I might just leave it bpu and go Wisefab first

Nice touch with the spark plug cover....

I knew you would go single....everyone does at some point....the stock twins are fun for awhile but a single hits so hard

And it clears up so much space on the exhaust side of the bay making stuff more accessible and easier to work on
