Question about police and inspection in Tennessee
I live in New York, and I will be storing my car at my parents house in Tennessee for about a year or so as I have no place to put it for now. I have no problem with police or inspection in NY despite having no cats. My ecu is tuned so that there is no CEL and they don't do visual cat checks here in NY. While the car is in TN, I will be driving it occasionally (about one weekend per month) when I visit my family.
My question is should I expect any issues with TN law enforcement? The inspection really isn't an issue as I won't be registering the car down there and won't have a need to get it inspected, but do cops often pull over cars that they suspect have modified exhausts? I'm sure it varies depending on the area, but I will be in the Nashville area. Also, even though I won't be getting an inspection, I just have a general curiosity about how strict they are so any info on that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks

In NY cars before 2000 are allowed 2 not ready and after 2000. Year production 1 not ready.....but there is no patch that will let people with turbo kit do "force emission" test that will always says ready like evos and sti are able with ecu flash.....running no secondary o2 sensors no evap etc...
Im just curious if he tuned it out to pass in NY or there is way to make them always say ready with uprev or other tuner

We don't have vehicle inspections. If you did have to get tags in TN your going to have to pass a visual inspection of the exhaust system (looks to make sure you do have catalytic converters) in the Nashville area and they do plug into your diagnostic port. Otherwise your fine. I haven't heard of anyone getting pulled over for the exhaust alone.

Thanks for the info. For now I'm going to leave it registered in NY. The NY inspection will definitely expire while it's down there and the registration might expire (I have about 2 years from now until it does). I'll just get it inspected and renew the registration if necessary as soon as I return to NY with it.
It will be driven very rarely down there, but it sounds like I won't have anything to worry about from police, so that's good to know.
