Will this pass? HELP!!!!

[97 CobraCoupe]

Will slp loudmouth catbacks pass emissions/inspection in NJ with stock h pipe on a 97 Cobra? I know they wont pass with an o/r h pipe but i dont want to install them if they wont pass. I might as well just wait. Anyone?

if NJs test is like CA's test, then it shouldnt matter what mufflers you have on. the only time we care in CA is if you get a police ticket for being too loud, then come to a referee station where you get a sound test done. mufflers generally dont have any effect on emissions. there is only one example that i can think of, but i dont think it applies to mustangs.

alright thanks. i am definitely gonna put them on then.

yep like he says only thing u need to worry bout emissions wise is making sure the car runs good and u have the o2 and cats on it.

What part of NJ? As long as there are cats on there and the car runs fine then you really shouldn't have any problems.

I've gone through the inspection station in Wayne w/ aftermarket exhausts a few times, and they never said anything about sound. Actually, the inspection guy complimented me on it. You'll be fine.

I don't see why it would be a problem. Your CAT back. Emissions control stops at the cat.

You should be fine I took my 88 GT through with a Flowmaster CAT back on it and she passed. I will be ordering the SLP kit next week.

so what one example is that?

I live near Cherry Hill. Like 10 minutes from Philly. Do you suggest doing the installation with me and my bro?

 

[bdcardinal]

i think its the positive backpressure EGR. certain types of EGR systems require backpressure in the exhaust to work. when you reduce the backpressure with a freerer flowing catback or midpipe, this type of EGR does not work as well. so it might increase the NOx emissions on a loaded dyno test such as the CA 15/50,25/25 or the more common IM240.

Instal of what?
