Reply to comment by Holdmypipe in Got pulled over for tints today(on 287). Showed the trooper this and he sent me on my way, saying it’s the first time he’s ever seen one by JCisnotNYC

It’s not legal. Inspection in NJ is a joke. All they do is plug a computer in the OBD-II port to check the emissions system. If that passes the car can be falling apart and still pass.

They look for catalytic converters on sport cars too. I had to show the guy last week here in Tom's River NJ when I saw him struggling and looking around under the hood. Mine was taking way longer than anyone else's n I asked him, looking for the cat? And he answered unwillingly, yeah. I had to show him.

Yeah not really.. I take mine to an independent shop for state inspection and all they cared about was the computer. Zero care for the fact that I have a 200 cell high flow cat

I went to the free state place. How much did independent charge you? My dad pays 26 bucks or something like that.

It’s $50. I have them Mount and balance my tires and do most basic shop work… I accept the charge since I don’t want to spend thousands on stock exhaust parts that I didn’t get with the car, or go through any hassle about it

That word passes is a funny word. My truck failed because their computer said "System not ready" The inspection guy said "drive it for a while and the truck will learn" a week later the light came on. Took the truck to a local shop where they fudged to system and it passed. Three months later the light went out and all is well. Guess my truck is stupid.
