Will I pass emissions testing? - Illinois
Hi Everyone,
I have searched and read just about every post I can find around ARH catted mid length headers and cant find a direct answer to the following:
I am about to pull the trigger on some ARH catted mid length headers. I will be running this with my Corsa catless xpipe and muffler delete. I have to go for emissions testing soon and was curious if this set up would yield a failed emissions test in Illinois? I believe they plug into your OBDII and perform the test that way. Would this set up pass?
Also, will this set up yield a check engine light without a tune? - I do not believe so but would like to know from someone with experience.
Thank you very much for your time and responses!

I am considering these headers as well and everything I have found online indicates you will not set a check engine light with the factory tune or have problems with emission testing if you go with the catted version of the headers. However, I have read that ARH had some issues with the early versions of these and have worked out the bugs. This will likely be my next mod. I currently have a Holley intech intake, ported throttle body, nx supercharger lid and catless x-pipe.

You'll be fine.
They no longer do a visual and just plug in the OBDII.
If your scan has all of the readiness checks clear, they will pass you. I think they will let you have up to two of them in not-ready status.
At the end of the day, they really just want to get you in and out as quickly as possible.
The one in Schaumburg seems to be the smoothest to get through.
