if you have an AP you can clear the CEL or get an mechanical cel elimination which spaces the 02 sensor an inch farther. Bottom line is if there is no CEL you will pass, at least here in NC

Hmmm noted. I do have an AP. Thanks. I may message you later for more specific questions on this.

Of course if your state doesn't have visual you will probably be fine (and if it does have visual, you still might be fine but theoretically you should fail).

I generally agree with emissions rules. What I do not agree with is the whole visual aspect. As long as the car falls within the levels deemed appropriate, everything else should be irrelevant.

Correct, the Helix downpipe will never gain CARB approval because it eliminates one of the cats.

However, the Perrin downpipe is 49-state CARB approved. Guess which state isn't on the list?
