Haven’t tried yet. Figured it was a bad idea

Not going to hurt a thing.

Yup he told me he had a guy who just put a sticker on it

BIGTIME red flag right there! lol
Did he say why it wouldn't pass?

Rgr. Also, given the mods, trying to put it through a drive cycle is likely a bad idea right?

didn’t have OEM software installed when it was failing Cats, O2S, and HRT. Set the tune back to stock just to see if that changed anything and then it failed a bunch more too (pic above).

OEM is stock. Also not familiar with NY laws, how many readiness codes does NY allow not to be ready. In Cali, its one and it has to be the EVAP canister.

He never even tried. Figured between the headers, gt350 parts and tune it didn’t stand a chance

NYS inspection does not allow for any non ready monitors.
I used to have to swap out the stock downpipe on my 16 EB for every inspection.

 

[Dave2013M3]

Cali will only allow EVAP to not be ready.

load the stock tune. scan for codes and post them up (no need to start it) . That'll tell us right away whether the custom tune had anything shut off.

Why will scanning codes on the stock tune tell us if the custom tune had anything shut off? Do you mean run a readiness test on the stock tune? Thanks

Yes. If you can.

 

[jbfj]

Yes. If you can.

Fire it up, take it for a run. Nothing stupid though.

Drive like a grandma. You’ll need a cold start or 2 to clear O2 heater and EVAP as well.

This is incorrect. As far as I am aware, every state allows at least one. Per the NY DMV site, you are allowed as many as two or as few as one depending on model year.

His mods are likely going to throw the fuel trims off enough that the monitors won't run, or at least not anytime soon. Best bet is going to be a set of OEM cats and a tune for emissions.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what clears O2 heater. Sometimes they will clear on a cold start, sometimes they won't clear after 5 cold starts with short drives, but will at the end of a 20 mile drive.

Post drive cycle on the stock tune. Seems looks like I may just need to pick up stock headers/cats and an inspection specific tune
