$50+$8.50?? Granted it's only every 2 years but still! It's $20 flat every year here. I'm with ya on the cats tho, a properly tuned engine on a normal, non all out, or an economy tune should pass no matter what. My Cobra passed just fine without cats but it's got everything else still, my old '94 GT had a decent sized cam, LTs, ORH, smog pump delete and EGR delete and still passed with just a tank of premium and a small timing tweak.
We don't have visual at all here (or if we do, not a single station bothers) but that's the great thing about all my cars, they're too low to look under! :rofl:
fuck smog, all they check here is emissions and they check for the code, and then they look to see a housing, so i just run a dummy housing on mine all hollowed out.
i only get plugged in obd2
only way you get sniffed is if your older than 96.
diesels should have emissions as long as your pre 2007 or 8 iirc
Yeah, 1 cammed (94) mustang with a terrible tune passed the rollers/sniffer test with some tinkering, 1 5.3 Z71 stock tune with LTs/ORY, and now 1 4.6 catless cobra all have passed the sniffer/OBD plugin tests. It's alllllll in the tune/health of the motor. The main thing I do with a car is make sure it's in top shape tune up wise before hand, full tank of premium, back the timing off a tad, and run the absolute shit out of it so it's good and hot before it goes in so it's burning cleanest.So your guys trucks will pass emissions sniff tests without cats? I wanted to try that, and even asked a friend that does smog, but he said that the state is too strict, and he wouldn't wanna get caught passing a truck without stock exhaust on it. It's a big pain in the ass. And I hate the way they sound with cats on the exhaust, way to quiet for me
Same here, Gwinnett has emissions, the neighboring northern counties don't. We have OBD1 rollers/sniffers and OBD2 plug in/sniffer. But no visuals either way.We have gas emissions testing in the county i live in, but its obd2 testing, got no codes you pass. County next to me has no emissions testing
James, yall have emissions on diesels??

im not even sure they looked under mine, they were too busy spazzing out about the tint
NJ has state ran inspection, taxes pay for it, we dont have to pay to be inspected.
Fuck that smog bullshit
I pay billy bob down at the old white trash mechanic shop $20 and he writes me off an inspection ticket. Never even gets off his chair to look at my truck in the lot lolol
I went to take my s10 not too long ago and he signed me off and said "so what illegal on this one?" I said just a tinted windshield. He said oh that's no biggy Hahah
