How to pass inspection while Tuned???

I’m in New Jersey and I’m tuned with MHD stage 2+ and need to get a new inspection sticker. Obviously i have no CEL thanks to the tune but my O2 sensors are not showing ready? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Not sure if there is a solution. In my M5 I have to flash back to stock. Its a pain cuz I have too many cars and don't drive a lot, so the flash to stock & add miles so everything is good takes time. Last year I did emissions late and since then next was only 8 months away I didn't even put my tune back on, this year I inspected on time and put my tune on the next day.

I went to AA gesi downpipes for that reason. I kept my tune and just made sure to not disable the CEL. Passed with no issues. My state just does the obd2 read.

Unfortunately the lack of cats aren’t going to pass that part of the emissions test. The swapping of DPs would be a pain which was why I too stomached the cost of the AA gesi catted downpipes.

If you’re not going to swap DPs that can pass well, you might just need a “hook up” from someone you can pay extra for that inspection sticker 🙂

Unfortunately unless you have gesi catted dp (which are $$), catless will always fail the emissions obd2 test for NJ. Sucks but one of the reasons I went back to stock DPs

Stack two spark defoulers to space out the sensors and turn the cel setting to oem in the tune. I pass no sweat tuned, fully catless and on full E.
