Pass inspection with 1 not ready code, it's real!

Hey guys, I got my inspection passed yesterday with Evaporative system monitor not ready.

Here's my OBDII readiness last year:
Catalyst Monitor READY
Evap Sys monitor READY
O2 sensor Monitor READY
O2 sensor heater monitor READY
And maybe 1 more I forgot...

That was when my car was bone stock. Now I am in Cobb stage 1+, and my Catalyst monitor becomes NOT SUPPORT!!

Does that mean I can go catless without knowing?

Probably not but.. anyone knows why?

Just got inspected a week ago. MHD tuned with catless downpipes. No issues, except for the smear of old adhesive on my windshield.

Wait what! I didn't know this at all, so we can pass inspection with catless DP here in mass because the tune will turn one monitor to "not ready"? And since we can pass with one not ready blah blah blah....!?!?

Yes, if you have catless DPs and no tune, you'll need the DP Fix to pass.
Catless DPs + tune, you'll pass.

The secondary cat's don't really do enough to mask the smell but there is no drone

So does this setup sound good? I open a thread in N55 but here I go:

Catless pipe (haven't decided what brand but price matters)
N54 midpipe,
Xpipe, then
335is muffler.

Should be no drone when the flap is activated correct?

Does the secondary cat kills too much power? How many cells are those?

Here's an example of an inspection done with JB4 (map 1 on) vs STOCK (JB4 turned off by setting it at 0). This was done on my pretty much stock 335 before I installed my catless DPs.

Pic on the left is when I forgot to set my JB4 at 0 to turn it OFF and I still passed, but you can see that everything says "not supported". To the right is when I DID turn my JB4 OFF which left the car in stock mode and obviously passed inspection.

JB4 ON will pass inspection, but it might raise questions if looked at by state officials and they can instruct you to take it to their own facility to inspect your car THOROUGHLY. They can make you remove whatever they think is aftermarket from that point. That's what I've heard, anyways. So with a JB4, I think you're still gonna need a DP fix. I haven't reached that time of the year yet, so I don't know much about having catless DPs and using a DP fix.

I think in this case JB4 turns those monitor to "Not support", which luckily, mass inspection let you pass since your car doesn't support it lol so you can't fail

My catless VRSF just got here today, i will put it on and run PTF map that turn the cel off.

I know a inspection garage, when he saw one of my monitor becomes not supported, he just said "umm.. You must be fucking around with the computer haha...", I was like "um.. Haha"

Just need to know someone who don't give a shit about the monitors, as long as you pass

What's holding me back was the OBDII test. But it seems like we can have one not ready monitor, or whole "not supported" monitors lol

Hope that RMV or gov whatever won't find this out someday

Yup! Was there for a few days. Water pump quit last week. They found a couple oil leaks as well. Oil filter housing and Valve cover gasket. It's back home now though. Washed and waxed. So happy to have her back.
