Here in connecticut there was a period where there was no emissions for about 3 years and then they just started back up maybe 4 months ago. The government couldn't pay for it anymore, so they made it a private thing.

oh ok makes sense now. We got it here and I'm pretty sure they look to see if the stuffs there too. Even if they didn't I wouldn't even try taking it off and trying my luck at seeing if it would pass to much of a hassle taking it off and putting it back on. Besides how much to you really gain taking it off?

I just passed emmisions at lunch today with no cats! I ran a bottle of lucas fuel injector cleaner, put in a new pcv valve, and new fuel filter. as for my mods since the last time I tested a 70mm tb and 75mm PRO-M bullet MAF. I was at the limit last time for HC's, this time I was under the limit by almost 30%. I still have all the air pump crap on the car though.

Don't know about your state but here in Texas they would pop the hood and the first thing the tech would say is .................

I don't see your air pump...............YOU FAIL

I also failed emissions last year the first time through.

Checked everything over - didn't find anything major so I tried the 'guaranteed to pass' fuel additive.

Passed with flying colors - worth every penny of the $5 I spent...
