Here is the link to the exhaust:
I emailed NM Engineering and asked, but got no reply. I'm guessing they don't know the answer.
Which state are you registered in?
MD and VA are both ODB2 tests (i.e. plug into the port under your dash, and check for emission error codes). The exhaust you have linked is post O2 sensors and therefore likely would have no effect on the emission readings the car checks.
Most vendors are not going to say it will pass emissions test and the vary per state, you could ask if they can confirm the exhaust does not cause an emission error code from the vehicle. This is something that they can likely confirm, and in MD and VA is the emission tests on newer vehicles.
Additionally in Virginia you can drive past RAPIDPASS testing stations on the side of the road, and it is pretty had to fail those. lol

Additional Information
Arriving:
1) For those joining the run, I will coordinate everything at the gate just follow the MINI in front of you.
2) If you are arriving separately, tell the gate worker you are with the SCCA MINI Car Corral.
a) Any issues, have them contact Chris Doherty.
3) You will be asked to sign the general waiver at the gate, and given a wrist band (don't lose it!)
4) The car corral will be located directly across from the main entrance to the track. There will be large banners and a popup
setup denoting the area.
5) Waivers - Chris will ensure everyone has signed the SCCA waiver in the morning, and we will provide an additional wrist
band for the track touring laps.
During the event:
1. Spectating: You are free to visit any spectator areas or grandstands within the track confines. The outer parts of the track is
a great place to watch the racing, and the Car Corral will be in a prime location.
a. I strongly encourage everyone to bring folding chairs, umbrellas, etc. If bringing canopies, make sure you have a way
to secure them down if it is windy. Use best judgement here.
b. We are still confirming if the group will have Paddock access while racing is going on. This is TBD.
2. A live audio broadcast from the announcing booth will be on FM 88.7
Lunch Track Touring laps:
1. Lunch laps: Lunch time laps are limited to 25 and first come first served. Chris will shuttle everyone to paddock and grid.
2. We expect this will happen between 11:45 and 12:30, depending on track cleanup and race group schedules. This could be
earlier or later.

purchase.
b. You can bring their own meals, grills, snacks, etc. There are no outside food restrictions at the track!

should be fairly obvious.

Gen3 set of Summer Tires and Rims $600

Posted
Hey all,
I was speaking with David (GM of Passport MINI of Alexandria) at MINIs Take the Beltway this past weekend, and he asked me to share these. They had an owner decide that they did not like the wheel tire package that came on their new MINI, and they were replaced. So now they a stuck with a barely used set of wheels and tires.
The set are black 18" rims (36-10-5-A31-927 Jet Black) wrapped in summer 205/40R18 86W Pirelli PZeros. New this combo is $2300, they just want the space back in there service bay so they are letting them go for $600
These are 5 lug and for F chassis (Gen3) MINIs
If anyone is interested please reach out to David Hellmuth at 703-461-6275 or email his at davidhellmuth@passportauto.com
If you grab them please let me know and I will update this posting.
