DIY Intake failed State Inspection

[bears4x4]

my question , one place tried to fail me cuz i dont have a muffler or cat, just good ole strait pipe that dumps under bed, where is that listed

i haven't seen it anywhere but if diesels are safety only where i live, what in the H$%L does a muffler and cat have to do with safety. Even with a muffler and cat, you still dont stick your sniffer in an exhaust, or do they teach that now in school, been a while

Too much to copy and paste, so here's the link. Scroll down. It's in there. The even revised the muffler policy. A turbine (ie) used to be permissible without an additional muffler as a muffling device. Now, if it came with a muffler and cat, it must have one.


Texas Department of Public Safety - Chapter 4 - Inspection Procedures

Ok, so here is the update....The inspection sticker finally expired and I had to get around to re-inspection. I took it over to where I get my wife's car's oil changed and where I take my company vehicle to get serviced. They ran it through without even questioning the intake. So my guess it's that original shop being dumb butts. And you wouldn't think so after having them do an exhaust job for you and I even referred a buddy to them for an exhaust(total business for them $500). Well I guess an inspection sticker will cost them loosing any of my future business with them, damn the luck too they were good at exhaust work.

Well you don't have to give up the exhaust work, just the inspections!
