    yo whats up not really sure if this is in the best area but here we go. ok ill tell you the plans.. i have a 3" turbo back catless and an up pipe catless. (haven't put it on yet working on time) looking to by an accessport. and get it tuned. i know it clears CEL codes but does that fool the emissions people? I just moved here so im not sure how thay do this testing. I know after 95 they just plug it up to obd2 plugs and run the software. Ok so i guess my question is, with what i already have, how do i beat the stupid emissions? (without bribes preferably:sx:) thanks for the help!

    slap on all the mods you want BUY that AP go get a tune from Siegel or Doug and there are no issues with emissions.

    There is no fooling. Its either outsmart it or fail.

    Software wise it can be made to pass the OBD inspection system. Thats no problem.

    However, if the inspector does their job CORRECTLY, your car will fail the visual inspection. Period.

    So...step 1 is to modifiy the ECU such that you have no problems 'passing emissions' software wise.

    Step 2 is to find a lazy inspection station.

    Why not have at least a high flow cat on a street car? Being a little green won't hurt...

    ...expensive, i got my whole turboback/uppipe for 300 bucks catless. I imagine a proper DP with a cat is 300+?

    Can you register your car in a county other than where you live? Because yeah, walton county has no emissions.

    Of course not.

    But how many people do this vs how many people get fined/ticket'd/caught doing this....

    every other person to zero pretty much.

    haha, good old loganville...my first car ran a straight pipe from the headers until the noise finally got on my nerves...

    I also noticed the tag was a little cheaper out there, too...not sure if there was some tax passed when I moved to the city or not, but it was a little more costly this past year

    I passed emissions again for the second time. If you live downtown, etc, I recommend the place next door to Mieneke on Hemphill and 14th. Nice laid back staff.

    Always love how the printout states "Catalytic Converter: Present" :D
