You must get an inspection every year in Texas! After 95, they plug into your OBD port and check for codes. You can't have any lights on your dash or you will fail! If they look under your car and see you have a piece of straight pipe instead of cats,hooked up to your headers, you Fail!

LOL... this is simply not true. You go to an inspection station in Harris county and you will fail the first check. The law has changed... only one not ready is allowed and you have two. But then I'm sure your tuner in LA knows the emission rules here.

If you're talking about rear O2 codes... He would have 4... Maybe more? I had 4. Except he's tuned. He'll have 0.
