I know this question has probably been asked thousands of times but I did a quick search and didn't find an exact answer.
I live in PA where OBD emissions testing is done, you actually plug the computer into the OBD port and it checks readiness, ect. My question is this: with MIL eliminators installed, will it still pass since the computer checks o2 readiness?

Technically yes, it would fail the visual, but since I'm the inspector... "I swear they where there when I did the emission test!! The costomer must have changed them after the test!"
