Woohoo, Passed Emissions with LTH
Just got back from inspection station. Sort of nervous since i have MBH LTH and front cats deleted. But did install TTM o2 extenders when i got the headers installed back in Feb 2012 and no CEL codes since then. Also got a tune shortly after but rear 02s werent turned off, since i was not getting CEL. I know several of us on here had CEL after LTH were installed and rears turned off and hard to pass emissions.
Gas cap test :pass
Cat converter: pass
OBD Malf Ind Lamp: pass
OBD Diagnostic connector: pass
OBD Diagnostic trouble code: pass
VA does allow one failure and i passed all with no failures.

Rbj. My wife is from Orlando and some of the cars I see on the road shouldn't be. But others like ours w emission codes should be!! And I like how you can tint the frontwindshield too

What tune do you have?
I went for my emisions inspection recently and it didn't pass. I'm getting a re-flash then attempting to go for another inspection. - PITA

My tune was w/ OE TUNING(Jeremy). He did it remotely via obd port/laptop. Depending on where you are, you may allowed one failed for readiness and still pass emissions

I have the OE Tune also, and I just received the cable, so I have to coordinate the remote tune adjustment.
I'm in NY and I had three fails - Rear o2 ls off, Rear o2 rs off, and fan off?
Next week we'll make another attempt, and If that doesn't work I have one more option to go with the o2's.

I'm still not squared away. I haven't made it a priority right now (not driving while the roads are all crapped up). I have to get this butted up shortly because I want to use the car in the spring. I think I'm going with 02 extenders?

From what was explained to me by Bruce TTM and a few others, when you use the o2 extenders, there is less flow going pass the o2 sensors. If not extended, more of the o2 sensor is in the direct path of the flow and cause you to not pass/CEL come on. Hope you guys pass emissions when using the extenders.
The new design MBH headers have the o2 extenders built in.
