***NYS catless folks need help***

Is anyone running a catless DP in NY and passing inspection? I've done some research and saw MHD might be able to bypass it with the 1 CAT code present and not the other. Advice would be appreciated...

Thread below is on the X3 page in case anyone wants to drop some things in there as well...

Put the cats back in or you wont pass. Catless cars on the street are moronic, especially on a turbo like the B58 where going catless is getting you basically nothing.

What do you define as basically nothing?

I agree. There's no noticeable power increases by removing the cats. I honestly don't know why people still do this.

Not only will it not pass inspection, but it violates federal law. Why even chance bringing the man into your life?

What's the point?

The sound mainly, but it looks like most people just swap OEM cat(s) back on for inspection time. Still looking for somebody running MHD with some experience…
