Getting ready to pull the trigger for a supercharger install

I assume you both are running long tube headers?
I think KOOKS are like the only long tube header that passes emissions with zero problems. I think ARH does pretty good too. (If I ever do headers on my next build, it would be Kooks. That's "if" I even do long tubes. The stock manifolds work great and don't take away from the boost. I'm willing to sacrifice the sound for more boost. Plus, I'd go with an x pipe to help sound a bit. lol)
Maybe it's the tune that cannot make them pass? Good luck guys and let us know how it goes.

I am running SLP 1 1/2 inch primary long tube ceramic coated headers with high flow cats and X-pipe.

The problem was I did not want to keep driving without the supercharger anymore and did not do enough miles before install to reset monitors. There should not be a problem but I won't know till after I drive it some more. Tuner said same thing, with factory headers and cats there should not be a problem. Want to go to high flow kooks with the kooks boss h pipe to keep my side exhaust but not sure it's worth the hassle if there are problems with inspection.

If you have a good tuner,...you should have no problems passing emissions.

You need to drive more miles? Why? That isn't going to change the tune. I'm thinking your tuning is off and they, the tuners, just don't know how or what to fix. That's what it sounds like to me. Good luck!

^^THIS!

I don't understand what's going on here?

. I've got that all, except the kooks side pipes too, not the boss.

Why didn't you just leave the stock tune before going into the inspection? I'm sure that would have passed easily being a stock tune, right? I'm not being facetious here, for the record.

My car has a Boss manifold and had a steeda cai and Steeda tune before I put the procharger in it. It would have passed but I did not even think about the inspection when I flashed to stock and back to steeda tune in order to update my x3 so it would be ready when the procharger came in. My sct x3 tuner had older software that needed to be updated otherwise I could not datalog with the laptop.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE, but we finally figured out the problem why my car would not pass inspection since my O2 and cat monitors would not turn on !!!!
Initially we thought a tuning issue, so we put back on the dyno to make adjustment to see if that was the problem, but no cure !!!! Also after every pull we were losing a lot of power !!!! Now were talking like 400 rwhp then 300 rwhp and that should not be after initially doing 717 rwhp !!!! We were totally baffled !!!
Anyway, on the last pull, they heard a big BANG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "OH NO DID WE BLOW THE ENGINE !!!!!" The engine was running F**ked up !!! The checked all the cylinders and everything was lighting up, so it was not the engine. The car was put up on the lift to check the exhaust and followed it down to the mufflers, only to find on the right one after shaking it, they heard moving metal inside it. Investigating the muffler they found a solid fist size ball of metal inside my right Borla muffler !!!!!!
Needless to say, what had happened my high-flow cats insides melted solid and was eventually preventing any exhaust from flowing on one side, finally dislodged from the cats, shot through my pipes and ended up inside my muffler. The other cat was partially melted, with very little flow, which explains the engine running badly after the right-side cats inside dislodging, because one side was clear and the other was partially blocked.
Finally, after replacing my mufflers, gutting out my cats and turning them off in the tune, then driving it around several miles, the O2 monitors turned on and the cats were showing not supported !!!! Ultimately, it was good enough to pass !!!!!!!
NOW WERE GOOD TO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
