CEL masking for midpipe install

So. Ahh.. I did it. I have mazdaedit and I think I killed my cel. Not sure if I'll pass emissions but hell its worth a shot. The advantage of tuning my car I believe will be pretty interesting. I have a lot of research to do as I'm pretty blind on using the program. I get the jist of everything but I'm not gonna start just changing values to see cause and effect. lol.

Well I got mazdaedit personal and I disabled the p0420 cel (dtc in mazdaedit). I've had a Bluetooth odb2 adapter for a year or two now. Usually, I get "Completed" in a emissions check that torque has integrated into it. So far its not moved off of "Not Ready." I've been driving it around for two days with no CEL. (That I am happy about), but I do believe when I get hooked into their machine I'm not going to pass the emissions test. They don't do the exhaust probe thing but I do believe the computer will never release a Complete response out of the emissions side of its check much like my Torque app detects. Kinda like removing the power from the battery to clear your car before an inspection. Without so many miles being on the vehicle they wont be able to test it (Avg 200mi for good measure.) BUT, I will try and get it inspected later this year just to see what happens.
Commenting on earlier post in this thread. I've tried it all.... Spark plug fowlers, or even a minicat (spark plug fowler with a cat filter in it) DOES NOT WORK on a s2. I've spent some good time/finding this out..

It technically needs a specific set of circumstances. They are usually hit within a few days, but it's possible that it could take longer.
I have heard that sometimes blocking the CEL prevents the readiness monitor, but I also know of cases in which it definitely did let it go to "Ready". I would suspect that if it doesn't go "Ready", then you are missing a step somewhere, and to keep investigating it in the MazdaEdit thread.

You can have 1 or 2 of the emissions checks set as "not ready" and still pass the test. Check with your local emissions people and ask how many they allow but that is how it is out here.
