Unless it's some strange MA law, any modification after the cats should be okay.

I'd say take it to another shop. He apparently isnt very learned in his field.

I would also say they should be OK, but nowadays ever state has lnickpicky little differences in laws, so you never know. (unless you live where I do and we don't have any of this testing stuff)

The guys doesn't know what he's talking about. I live in MA and have had flows for years without any problem. I just got my emisions done last year. I did have to put my cats back for that but I'll leave them off for the safety inspection this year.

In many state modifying the mufflers in any way(unless stock replacements)is illegal.

I thought flowmasters were concidered "stock replacements" just high flow ones.

Yea that guys an idiot. They are fine in mass. You can get away with alot here,with the whole inspection scandal.

Here is Florida we don't have emmitions control or testing. Every state is unique. Kinda stupid for those who live in states where you can't modify you catback, but here we get a little lucky. Of course, we still have a decible law, so you can't drive around really loud. Like some people I know who run no tips. I think the loudest is 96Db, but I could be wrong. Anyone know for sure? Is this state wide or national?

 

[ill advised]

yeah, I'd just take it somewhere else. Here in Cali I've never been questioned about my Flowmasters so they should be cool anywhere. lol

when I got my Flows....Flowmaster was offering them as 50 State legal for the 3 and 2 chambers...not 1 chamber.....I second the idea that the Inspector guy was confused about what his job entailed.

The nerve of some people!

Hey guess what..................... we dont have emissions test in oklahoma..

Flows are fine in MA, I just wouldn't go to a major auto chain for inspection. They do sound really loud when in doors, so maybe thats why the guy failed you. Hopefully you got your 29 bucks back! Anyway, just go to a local shop and you shouldn't have a problem.
