Really so they JUST LIKE Stillen?

 

Oh wow stillen sends you boxes missing parts too?! Lol

 

It's true.. I just failed inspection with mine. (350z). I had passed both years prior while tuned.

 

What was the specific reason you failed the inspection? Did you retune or you went with the same tune you had for the last 2 years.

 

I changed from Berk hfc's to ART pipes and an XYZ-pipe, and retuned one of my maps.

I think that, the re-tuned map(5) may have been the issue as the guys who re-tuned were not the original tuner's. Im guessing, but they are also the guys who many others were experiencing issues with tuning and the state.

Beyond that, it has occurred in the evo and srt 4 communities for having rom id's changed.

I can't accurately tell why mine failed. 1. no cats. 2. Tuned rom disabling/bypassing OBD readiness?

I just don't know for sure.

 

not sure its really true,You have codes disabled right. That thread was about a stock car with just a flash. I would still like to see a car with everything just flashed fail. ??

 

I have passed the prior two years with HFC and orginal tunes. I swapped out HFC for Art pipes and added an xyz-pipe and retuned. It may have been due to the re-tune.

Or other theory is that looking back on my prior year printouts, Catalyst heater/ Cat monitors either showed up as N/A or not supported. My guess is successive years of this and this being the 3rd year, it finally caught up to me.

 

I went to emissions a couple weeks ago and it passed without any problems. I'm running no tune with test pipes and HKS replica Tru dual catback. U thought without a tune it'll fail but it didn't

 

Hmm. I'm surprised you passed with test pipes.

 

the post O2 sensors are on a tube that comes outwards then upwards so it's out of the exhaust stream. Just like the AAM down pipes are

 

I have the FI RHFC and I'm going for inspection in a few months. I should pass too. I have no CEL.

 

Incorrect. I have passed while tuned previously.

And I am talking about Massachusetts state inspection. There have been changes where they are cracking down on tuned vehicles. They can now tell if a ROM has been flashed by checking the Rom Id.

It can either be the fact the ROM id was changed(during my re-tune) or the readiness of the OBD sensors which may have been bypassed to avoid an engine light due to ART pipes. Without undoing one or the other and re-testing I can't be sure which is the trigger without speculating.

Problem is I have to go for re-test and likely need to be reverted to stock all around in order to pass DOT inspection.
