I am going for inspection in a month and I wonder if I should get test pipes and Y pipes before hand. I have some money and would love to start on the other end of the air flow system, but I've never really done any mods like that before so I'm a fish out of water. Would I/you get in trouble for those mods? And if so, what is the penalty? Do you put in the old parts before inspection? Thanks!

Most definitely.

 

lol, see, I just needed a simple answer. I'm not sure about the laws and if it really matters. Having a little roll eye smiley doesn't really help me too much..

 

Laws vary from state to state so a regional forum may have the best answer.

With test pipes you will not pass a sniffer test.
Test pipes will not pass a visual inspection.
If test pipes give you SES light, those codes are recorded in OBDII history. A OBDII plug-in will show the codes, and alert the inspector to dig a bit deeper for emission problems.

My advise is to complete the inspection stock.
