Mods, tuning and state inspection (MA)

[mysta_sandman]

My state inspection is coming up and this is my first one in MA since they've cracked down on mods/emission standards.

I still have my cats and I'm assuming that PBD didn't turn off my O2 sensor with the tune.

That being said, anyone in MA have any issues with mods and passing?

I'm good otherwise regarding suspension and the safety check.

You shouldn't have issue with your car having cats and being on a tune. I don't think I've seen this combo fail emissions checks.

Thanks. I couldn't find anything concrete here.

I'm guessing as long as you don't have the 02 sensors turned off, you should be good.
Good luck!

MA has gone very simple with emissions, so long as you don’t have a CEL and your monitors have passed, you’ll be fine.

It's not as bad as it seems, myself and others with modded cars haven't had any issues passing recently and some of my buddies have some rowdy cars (cams, long tube headers, loud exhausts etc.)

Given that you have the stock cats, you should be fine. MA doesn't do emissions, so as long as you have no codes then you are good. PBD would have no reason to turn off any of your sensors, so you shouldn't have any codes.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I figured I was good but then I started second guessing myself after reading threads about having to flash back to stock etc.
