psucaptainkickass Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Small update...passed inspection just fine. They even raised the car and looked underneath . They had no idea that Subaru made this car, or even turboed it. That confusion probably helped me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km580 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I guess in a way that's good but also a little scary to think that there are "mechanics" out there that don't know anything about cars. Fat people are hard to kidnap!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Well I wouldn't expect them to know everything about every car. If they see a high flow cat...that's good enough for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mele63 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Congrations on passing the inspection. It would be a real PITA to fail the test, and have to return the car to stock and still get charged the inspection fee ("pass or fail" as the signs say). As with everything else, the fees just keep going up in price. I'm actually curious as to whether a high flow cat is a violation or not, in counties where the inspection is limited to visual only. If a part isn't OEM, how's a tech supposed to know if it's legal? With factory parts, there's a presumption they meet federal standards. With aftermarket, however, who knows? Now if they actually did the sniffer test, then the proof would be in the pudding, as they say...if you pass, you pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not allowed to do anything to the emissions system. I think it was a combination of things that let me pass. 1. Is the OBD-II. If that checks out, that means the computer thinks everything is ok. Hell, I would like to know what the result would be with no cats and teh OBD-II still coming up fine. 2. The HFC is right there. They see it. Combined with 1. everything looks peachy. 3. Unknown vehicle. The vehicle was new to them, so they probably aren't used to seeing factory pipes. I think they might have a reference book...but what's the likelyhood of these shops actually referencing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Greensburg to be exact. I've seen three leggy GT's in my area ever.. One was at least stage 1.5, and the other two were stock. Silver, white and ABP, respectively.. Otherwise all 2.5i's driven by mothers & old folks. Holla..

BoozeRS05 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Not an avid car show participant.. In fact I've never been to one, not that I wouldn't like to, one of these days. I also flaked on the Bar Louie Meet last tuesday, so I haven't been able to meet any fellow leggy drivers in the area. The exGF and I are trying to reconcile..

BoozeRS05 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Can anyone recommend a Subaru dealer in the Pittsburgh area? I'm going to New Kunkle Subaru in Delmont (25min drive) for my service needs, but I'd like to start going somewhere else. I've been told incorrect info too many times to continue using their service. LMK what you got. I'm willing to drive an hour out of the way for peace of mind. I've been to Hamilton, & New Kunkle Subaru and I'm not too fond of either.. I'm also willing to try some subaru auto specialist you might know of.. If they come highly recommended.

wrx034me Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 i'd recommend Cochran on rt22 monroevlle. it used to be called langston and they were pretty mod friendly and knowledgeable. my 08 came from gerry raymonds rt. 51 rostraver and they seem pretty decent too.
