E check failure

Just bought a 2012 golf r. It's got 2 doors. Took it to get echecked and it failed. The code that came up was "cat monitor not supported." Anyone have any idea what this could be? A work around for it? Any help would be much appreciated!

Possible you have an after market downpipe on the vehicle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These cars don't pass emission unless the stock downpipe is installed.

Sounds like the car had a tune which disables the monitor. Look under the car and see if it has the stock downpipe.

Not true. I have a car with aftermarket downpipe that passes inspection with all readiness complete.

Not sure what state you're in, but in New York they will not pass you unless you install the stock program and downpipe. I went through multiple shops and spoke with APR. Unless you know someone that pass it under the radar, passing with an aftermarket won't be easy.

Most case this isn't an issue in other states.
