Hogzaust Emissions Question?

[LuckyProfessional]

Hi all, I have an 05 LGT with the hogzaust spacer mod installed. Am I able to pass an emissions test with the car set up like this? It's a Missouri emissions test, so I'm assuming it's not a very stringent test. Can anyone speak from personal experience on this?

do you have a check engine light?

No, I do not have a check engine light.

you'll pass, but the inspection tech might laugh at you for making your exhaust leak on purpose.

Hogzaust is normally done just before the muffler and after all the emissions related equipment. You will be fine.

Well there's good news and bad news, guys. I passed emissions like you said. All the cats are way before the mufflers. All 3 of them seeing as it's an 05.... But it failed the safety inspection for "both rear flanges leaking exhaust right before mufflers". Hmmm wonder what that could be haha. Apparently they just run their hands along the length of the exhaust to check for leaks and that's what caught it. Anyways, it was the previous owner who did the Hogzaust mod so I've never been under there myself. You just drop the mufflers, remove the spacers, and bolt them right back on, right? Can anyone link me a helpful guide with pictures to walk me through it? I do need to pass to register again after all...
