Just curious about the pros/cons of doing this.
I live in Massachusetts, where the smog ***** have recently begun dyno testing all cars for emissions.
I really want to get the F-Max kit for my accord, but am concerned about passing smog testing.
At emission time, if I were to remove the intake charge pipe from the throttle body - route it towards the ground or something after the FMIC - and disconnect the MF2 computer & extra injectors, would the car basically then run as stock on the dyno, and thus pass emissions?
There is no visual inspection, so that's not a concern.
Anyone have any input on doing this? Good idea? Bad idea?

I heard they might do the same here in MA to prevent someone ELSE'S car being put on the dyno and passing, but they don't even open the hood here!
