Ok, has anybody heard that Texas will no longer accept a turbo to qualify as an exhaust muffler? I have several friends that have gone to different places to get their trucks inspect, but were failed due to the fact they had no muffler. They all had their CATs and none where DPF trucks. The inspection stations are claiming that the law change ~3 months ago.

What gives?

 

Sure did all vehicle's must now have a muffler if they came with one from the factory.

 

I've never had any inspector actually look under the truck...

 

got mine in april, no problems there

 

Just run a straight pipe through a section of muffler. That's a trick my friend used on his old car, just ran through a hollowed catalytic convertor and muffler. With no emissions testing here and running at idle, car didn't sound that suspicious.

 

thats pretty sneeky

 

ha ha, thats pretty shady

 

Thats BS. All this stuff is getting out of hand. A diesel just ain't right with a muffler on it

 

You better get used to it. Restrictions are here and more are coming.

Barrick will have you driving an electric car before you even know it.

 

I belive that its just a visual inspection. as long as you have one on there you good but it does not matter if it is empty inside they just like to see us
