Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Hi All: I'm going to be moving to Ontario next year. I'm in the process of getting my first set of mods going. I am adding sway bars and the Quaife LSD. May also do the CF vents, desnork and coilovers. Plus Blizzaks. I have already done the Softronic retuning. Here's my question - I have been teasing around the idea of doing the breathing mods - plenum, cats, exhaust. There's some pretty strict air quality testing in Ontario - particulate, visible exhaust and NOx are the biggies. Will I mess up my ability to pass the tests? I don't know the theory well enough to predict the outcomes well. Does stuffing more air through the engine help or hurt? Any MechEs in the crowd? Dfogal.

Ontario, California is as strict a place as any in the world. Bottom line: a CEL equals automatic failure. A visual inspection that indicates anything non-stock without a CARB sticker...fail...then you have to go in to see the car-proctologists. And you get put on a "possible evil polluter" list. The CEL is the ultimate arbiter. As far as I know, you can't pump enough bad stuff past the engine monitoring stuff to make a difference without throwing a CEL. Ontario, Canada ? I think they have exhaust sniffing moose that are even more strict.

While CEL's are bad, the Softronic tuning will prevent you from getting an exhaust related CEL.
