I need to get my 2005 gt inspected and the cel keeps coming up because the off road x-pipe that I put on. Is there a way to remove the cel without removing the pipe.

 

Google it. It's against the law, so I would think we'd not want to help in breaking laws, like street racing, which'll get a thread locked.

Yeah, I'm sure there's a good reason you wanted them gone, but seriously. If you can't get inspected without them, then you need them, and that's kinda that, ya ask me.

 

Put them back on and pass inspection


Then what you do after that is up to you

 

someone sells an eliminator kit for that. ....or I'm pretty sure it can be tweeked with a tuner not 100% sure just pretty sure

 

A tuner, Mil-eliminator, or putting the old mid pipe back on will solve your issue. I'm surprised you didn't look through the 05-10 section to see if someone else already asked this.

 

Not against the law for offroad use or in counties where not required. We could assume he is planning on moving to an inspection county. So then we could help him. Right?

 

Tune yes. Mil eliminator no.
If i recalling Mil eliminator dont work for 05 and up

 

Yes not against the law for offload use

But it's also a federal law not to remove functioning cats from a road going vehicle that originally had them

 

The tune will turn off the rear O2 sensors that cause the light and also ease drivability as a result of not having the bad reading throw off the computer.

But as far as inspection it depends what kind.

Electronic, sniffer, or visual?

It won't pass any of those.

And I agree I don't think the MIL eliminators work on these cars but I'm not sure of it. You don't ever hear of anyone using them on s197s so there must be a reason.

 

Yeah it's for off road use.... Not trying to get you guys in trouble for aiding and abetting. I just really need my light off. The tuners just turn of the sensor so if you are getting your car inspected then they will know.

 

Mil eliminator will pass on an electronic obd2 emissions test. Visual most techs don't looks. 96 and up no asm test.

 

Tunes can also fool the machine. Hence why mine passes.

 

How do you get a mil. American muscle only sells them for 04 and under. And the guy doing the inspection is my buddy. So he won't look I just have to have To trick or convince the computer.

 

They don't make them for 05 up due to a different style sensor. Tune is your only option

 

Thanks for your help

 

Only other thing i have heard works is spark plug defoulers. Google spark plug defouler Mil fix

 

just pick up a 12 pack, jack that sucker up and throw the cats back on for the inspection.... that is unless you don't have them anymore?

 

I tuned my 04 gt when I removed my cats and never had a problem passing inspection.
