Default Will my car pass the sniffer test?

I have heard through the grapevine that Arkansas is leaning towards emmissions testing. My car has a fast 90/90 combo, 228/228-588/588 110 +1 Lsa cam, LS6 PRC heads, .040 commetic gaskets, !air, !egr, pacesetters, and tsp True duals. If I threw on some magnaflow cats and left the air and egr disconnected, do you guys think it would pass the test?

No.

At best if you can get someone to lean out the tune, put a few bottles of rubbing alcohol in the motor, run a normal temp thermostat, put fan on/off back to stock and drive it hard and get it tested almost immediately. You may have a chance.

Oh and pray to god you have no visual inspection.

No way it'll pass a sniff test. As long as you don't have a sheck engine light, should pass an OBDII scan (which is what Ohio does).

You won't have to if the car has been tuned and your check engine light is off. They only plug the sniffer into downstream and OBD1 cars.
No worries.

YOu have to bear in mind he is from Arkansas, his emissions law may not mirror yours or mine for that matter. In CT if you fail the scan test, you go to the roller, no debate

It's tuned and doesn't throw any codes so I pray that they don't do a visual. It's rediculously loud though so I doubt that they won't do a visual. Thanks for the info guys.
