Calling all tuners: Cobb Green Speed. What will we need to comply?

[SaiiBoost]

Hi tuners, just wanted some clarity this new development by the EPA. For future big/hybrid turbo cars, what will we need in terms of parts to avoid codes on pro tunes? Thank you!

I'm very curios about how this will impact EQT, SneekyTune, etc.
I've read there was next to no communicate from Cobb to it's dealers. I'm assuming this will have some impact on the ability for any tuner using an Accessport to provide any tune.

Either the stock downpipe or a downpipe that is as or more efficient.

To the best of my knowledge the only people who still make aftermarket downpipes efficient enough are @GTI Jake (Baun Performance) and Bull-X (the euro-6 compliant one not the 200 cell one).

My Neuspeed downpipe hasn't thrown any codes (yet) but they don't sell those anymore.

I'm curious about catless DPs since I have one, and how those will be handled in pro tunes if I live in Florida. Will I need to buy a catted one for a new pro tune?

Kinda sounds like you're either gonna have to deal with the MIL being on constantly or start playing with spacers.

Will the MIL being on affect performance in any way?

You are running an old EQT tune as well.

Choices are as follows:
GESI downpipe: COBB makes one as well
Try your luck with a spacer
Stock DP

I checked using OBD11 for faults. I could run a catless downpipe with my current (old) EQT tune and I don't think it will throw a light since that's disabled, but the code is still stored.

I live in an emissions state so I'm paranoid about this. I don't want to play the lets swap downpipes game every year around inspection time.

45min game. Not terrible.

About to drop the hammer on an MAperformance GESI DP

As long as you don't have to take an angle grinder to the exhaust clamp like Jon had to do with mine when we realized it wasn't going to happen with hand tools and good attitudes

Not any more. They stopped selling them a few months ago.

Just got the last GESI MAPerformance downpipe, lmao

Sneeky seems to be selling the COBB GESI DP. Link below:
