FAILED MA State Inspection for B&B Exhaust!!

[MA325is88]

What a state this has become! I was failed, with a RED R, not a black one, for having a B&B cat back on my cabrio.

Anyone else? Anyone ever dispute the failure with the RMV?

What did you fail for?

You sure it is your exhaust?
Not an o2, catalytic converter, or vacuum leak?

and thats why i goto a private inspection:)

what the hell... i had a BB with no cat on my car for YEARS and never had a problem...

you need to find a new inspection place man... and make nice with the owner

[ping65810]

Yeah, I have never had a problem like that, I am used to failing for emmissions, but thats also b/c my Mercedes is a shitbox, but they shouldn't fail you safety for that!

[thejimlab]

i agree, that guy is a prick. Find a new spot.

[RCWells]

Better yet, sell the B&B to me, and solve both our problems at the same time.;)

Since when??? i guess i have been out of mass for too long but i havent heard anything about this...

Hey Ray, you need to move a few miles farther north :) Just had the E30 inspected after moving to NH a few months ago. The mechanic who did the inspection told me I could do practically anything to the exhaust because they don't wand the car or put it on a dyno or anything. He just looked for exhaust leaks.

July last year. Need to be stock from cat to end. Headers are ok.

[MA325is88]

The story was....."anything at all louder than stock". I swapped a stock eberspacher onto it today and it passed. I will swap the b and b back tomorrow.

Mass sucks.

Pretty fucking gay that they gave you a safety rejection. I definitely would not go to that place in the future.
