I think you can tell from the thread title where this is going. I’d LIKE to add headers and an E85 tune to my car (in addition to an 18 ported manifold, closed-box CAI, and catback, and I realize I’ll need injectors for the E85).
But I have to be able to pass emissions inspections, without having to swap off the headers and re-flashing the tune. Maryland’s emissions inspections are an OBD2 check for codes, not a sniff test.
I’ve been told the tune can be set to disable the CEL system. I’ve also been told there are spacers to back the O2 sensors a bit out so they see less exhaust flow.
What are the consequences and drawbacks of those solutions? Are there any other solutions available?
