Passing emissions with a JB4 and catless DPs
Hi guys. I'm pretty new here but I've been having some issues passing emissions with my car in NY.
Been doing a ton of research on this but I can't seem to find a definitive how-to on the topic above. As the title says, I have a JB4 and a catless DP on my car, and i'm reading that the only surefire way to pass is go back to stock DP. Problem is, I can't seem to find an OEM DP for sale for the life of me. I have a code scanner, JB4 is switched to Map 0 and disconnected and I can't find the VRSF dp fix any where either. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks! |

I am pretty sure the VRSF DP fix never worked to pass emissions, but someone can correct me if i am wrong. It's for sale on their website, but i wouldnt buy without confirmation it actually works from someone who used it.
If your state requires you to get all emissions monitors in ready state (some allow 1 NOT ready monitor), then yes, you need the OEM DP and/or a aftermarket DP that passes emissions (fabspeed catted, AA). I'm sure you can find an OEM one for sale on here or on ebay. Aftermarket catted ones typically run $1,000+ if you want to pass emissions with it. I think you can probably get a used OEM for ~$200-300. |

NY and Catless do not mix. The jb4 just clears the check engine light. It does nothing for the readiness check. It's why I haven't gone catless and I can't justify the price of the fabspeed.

I don't recommend Fabspeed dp. Mine only lasted little over a year and you will eventually get CEL. To get any warranty be ready to jump through hoops to prove their $1400 dp is faulty. They do not reimburse you for anything not even shipping back the faulty dp.

This is the first i am hearing of fabspeed catted DP eventually causing a CEL. Sucks because i just installed mine a few months ago... I hope i don't run into this issue. Just curious if you did anything out of the ordinary to cause excessive wear. |

Google Fabspeed dp with CEL will see there are others with same issue. They guarantee no CEL but don't really stand behind their product. Wish I had did more research before purchasing one.

I am at 2+ years on mine with no issue. To be fair, I do not have a lot of miles on it, but they are not exactly highway miles either.
