Quick question about MN auto laws.

1. Does the state mandate vehicle inspections? (Can I get away with a catless midpipe)

Not currently. :coolkid01

So you can get away with it but it will throw a CEL.

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-23-2005 12:26 PM

Pardon my auto ignorance. What is a CEL?

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-23-2005 12:26 PM

Nevermind Check Engine Light

BoosTED 12-23-2005 12:27 PM

Check Engine Light ;)

There is a work around for that. I had to do it to my SVT Cobra. It had Racing H-pipe w/Borla muffs and pipes. Just don't remember what we did. I'll have to inquiry down in the Tech Garage.

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-23-2005 12:30 PM

I was reading a thread about using a racing midpipe w/a cat back system, and installing a borla XR-1 race muffler on the midpipe to quiet it some what, but keep the benefits of the less restrictive flow.

BoosTED 12-23-2005 12:32 PM

They have tried the O2 saver and found it also needs to be wrapped to keep the heat on the sensor. Otherwise it gives a CEL for a slow sensor.

It is workable, just not as easy as a midpipe should be.


Has anyone here used the Speed Bleeders for the brakelines, mastercylinder, and clutch?

truemagellen 12-23-2005 12:33 PM

Ted has a Highflow cat which brings him gains...and no CEL...

there is a bushing trick for no CEL on Catless midpipes but it doesn't work on all setups

I want to get a catless midpipe as well BKR :)

thank goodness for no inspections...that is why there are two unrestricted 3rotor RX7s in our state that are riding around on the street :) when you come in town we will take you too a North Star Rotary meet where you can see the beasts :)

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-23-2005 01:00 PM

Yeah I was reading the thread about the O2 Sensor bushing. I can't do it out here since I have to get inspected in March, but I might just do it once I get the inspection sticker on the car. It will be interesting to see how it will perform and sound with a race pipe and a Hymee on it?

Bad_Karma_RX8 12-23-2005 01:11 PM

Here is the local Oahu Rotary Club:

Didn't know they existed till I started snooping around on here,

What are your guy's thoughts on the intake offered by SR Motorsports?

truemagellen 12-23-2005 02:52 PM

It was pretty popular a year and a half ago...looks cool :)

there was a nice write up by a guy who had it...he ended up selling it and getting a different one

I'll try to find the link, it was from a year ago so wish me luck :)

Papajoey was looking to sell his. He mentioned that it ran rough but I think it just needed the screen to be added before the MAF.

It is a lot bigger than I thought it was. Didn't get to see it in action since it was off of the car.
