It won't pass OBD II readiness without a separate DP fix either. The JB4 alone only has auto clear which will eliminates the CEL only. |

I was under the impression that the JB4 included a DP fix...does this mean that when I install catless DPs with my clutch, my car will no longer pass emissions? Or are my secondaries sufficient?

That's the confusing part, they say that it has an integrated DP Fix, but they're unclear on whether it just clears the code or if it allows you to pass inspection. I have a feeling it's the former since no one has proven it's the latter yet. The separate DP fix is an adjustable resistor so unless they've integrated that somehow into the G5, not sure how it would be able to pass emissions.

The JB4 features an auto clear function that will automatically disregard any cat efficiency codes. Problem is, it doesn't set readiness meaning the OBDII scan during inspection will show "Not Ready". Also, pretty sure you can't communicate with the DME when you're not on Map 0 so in that case, you would throw a service engine soon light anyways. Get the DP fix. Took me 25 minutes to install from popping the hood to closing it and most of that was removing and installing the cowl. I passed inspection and now I'm going to remove the DP Fix and turn auto clear back on.
JB4 description online is confusing, but when making "off road use only parts" you have to tread lightly with how they're advertised. The DP Fix sold separately is the only way to pass an emissions test aside from installing the stock downpipes which is a huge PITA. |

Historically when the tune came out way back when I don't think it cleared the CEL for downpipes so they produced what is now referred to as the DP FIX. Over the years they integrated only a small portion of the "DP FIX" into the tune just to clear the CEL. The way the standalone downpipe fix works it wasn't good to use for long term. (You can ask BMS why because I don't know the exact details). So the JB4 currently has only a "DP FIX" to clear the check engine light. If you want to pass readiness you need the stand alone DP Fix for that and it should only be used short term to pass inspection. I hope this clears up any confusion. No car will pass the sniffer (Emissions) with catless downpipes even with the so called secondaries in place. |

To make sure I'm understanding this clearly:
So in order to pass OBDII emissions with catless DPs, you need to buy one of the BMS downpipe fix devices? Are there other alternatives, or is BMS the only company that offers such things? |

Tiago posted this in another thread. Looks like the same as the bms one.

Keep in mind some states allow one not ready state for the emissions stuff. I can pass my local tests with no issues as long as I don't have a check engine light on and there are no other emissions related issues.

Last year I had to get my car e-checked, and had just cleared the codes with the JB4. I still have my OEM downpipes with cats, but I did not pass because of the "not ready" status. I had to drive it around for the day and then get it tested again.
