My first turbo vehicle. I was wondering if i take my muffler off, and just do a turndown after my cat. will it pass emissions?? A couple guys in CA pass emissions with their trucks, but I’m not sure if there are regulations in PA, also will a car with no muffler pass inspection?

do you have an aftermarket starter on your truck?? or a aftermarket ignition??? cause mine seems to be going down the common SyTy path of dead startup.

to pass your exhaust MUST pass last functioning window/ door … So a turn down will not pass visual unless after front doors in a coupe or rears in a sedan.

Some places bitch if it doesnt come to the rear bumper
