Emissions and forcing 02 readiness

Have you tried a spacer that has been known to work for ccta cars??

I have been through all the shit you are going thru. Stop playing with spacers. My 42DD spacer did nothing.
- make sure you have a non- test file installed
- set to stock mode
- drive to test center
- run readiness test in parking lot of test center ( about 20 min)
- test car
Unless the tech dives your car to lunch the CEL should not come on in the time it takes of pull into the shop.
The process above worked for me after two failed attempts and many calls to APR, my tuner, and reading threads on this forum. I still had the catalyst not active, but I am allowed to have one sensor out.
This strategy will work for states/counties that allow 1 not ready monitor. I am only going to try a few more things before I resort to this.

Why not just swap for the stock downpipe for the emissions test and swap back?
All this messing with spacers and shit seems like a giant waste of time. You could have just swapped the stock pipe and already had the test done...

Agreed, that is what I did. Go for the sure thing, passed no problem just swapped my 42DD TBE for stock TBE.
Keep in mind that your system must be ready capable (functioning properly) to get to a "passed" state whether you use the cable or just drive the car.

It takes a variety of specific driving conditions to "test" all the systems. It can be done in a short time using a very specific and complicated procedure found in the On Board Diagnostic section of the Factory Repair Manual for your engine. The alternative is just to drive the car for 2-3 days. Make sure you include at least one short highway trip, and your Readiness Bits should all read "Pass" again.
Us K04 guys cant because of the extra 02 sensor that's relocated from the K03, onto the downpipe.
You can modify a stock CCTA downpipe to hold all 3 sensors in the right location and have a swapable stock downpipe for your K04. The price you have to pay to mod.

Been a while since I thought about this.... So if I have a CCTA K04 it's probably easy for me to just swap back to the stock downpipe and run the stock K04 tune, yes?

This is good to know, thanks for posting this!
Yes, you will pass visual and readiness with the CCTA downpipe in place assuming you have added the bung and O2 sensor onto the CCTA pipe.
And assuming you don't have a tune that messes with readiness.
I passed with K04 in place and my DriverMotorsport K04 tune with a stock downpipe in place. DM does not mess with readiness but other tunes might you just need to check with whoever you got your tune from to see if they do anything to readiness. Some APR tunes do, not sure about others. You will need to call APR to find out about you specific tune, if it is designed to work with a test pipe (no cats) it would not pass readiness test no matter what you do because the tune would prevent it.
