Inspection

[smufguy]

After putting on performance parts like a header and a performance muffler like lets say Dynomax. would my car pass New Jersey inspection? some of the modified cars with exhausts and mufflers have a rejection sticker on the windshield. what causes these rejections??:confused:

most likely emissions, in mass anyway. probably running their cars on rich mixes w/o knowing it, always ways to get arround emissions though.

it is eather they don't have catalytic converters or they running rich, but just replacing header and muffler you should be fine.

you sure right? i have a friend who had a highflow cat on his MR2 and he could not pass emissions here in NJ. i dont wanna be bummed out after all the work put in.

A high flow cat means it flters out less gasses... but it still has a working catalyst.
A test pipe has no catalitic convertor.

but with the stock cat you should be fine... if not just turn down the fuel mixture and you'd be sure to pass.

[smufguy]

can i have a stock cat and have a 2.25" piping mated to it?

Yes.

[monsonhonda]

now i got a question, is there any way to alter the f/a mixture in a fuel injected accord, and why would my accord be running rich.

I would like to know about this also
