Default Owners in AZ come inside

Verbs, or anyone else from AZFBA, please feel free to copy this post onto the AZFBA message board for reference.

I thought that I'd post my experience with emmisions to ease people's minds. I took the car over on Saturday morning...the whole process took less than 5 minutes. See sig for mods. I'm not running CATs, and the true dual setup is the normal setup put together by Pro-Dyno...12 inch Dynomax mufflers. All of my rear O2 codes have been deleted by turning the test off (not just turning off the "set SES" option). I'm not running O2 sims either (that is obviously an easier way to pass).

Thre process went as follows: hooked up the car to the scanner, started car, downloaded diagnostic info (took about 20 sec), unplugged computer, pulled forward, paid for emmisions, recieved all paperwork and went on my way. They never looked under the car, never popped the hood, never asked about any modifications. The only two questions they asked were what engine, and cash or check.

Needless to say, I passed. Good bless OBDII!

I'll be there on a TR 224/224 @ 114, FLP, Cats...LS1 Edit dyno tuned.

I'll probably do simms too, just because.

The OEM D/D is going back on, !LM.

how WELL did you pass, btw?

That doesn't apply. Since there is no sniffer test, it's only pass or fail. If any of the engine diagnostic tests stored in your computer come up as failed, you fail. If they all go to completion and pass, you pass. None of this playing with your idle, and pulling injector crap that older cars try.

Don't bother with the O2 sims...it's $100 you can spend on something else. If you're going to tune with LS1edit, just delete the rear O2s and CAT stuff while you're in there.

so deleting rear O2's will not cause a test failure? I had them deleted in my LT1 and it showed test not conducted...

I've never used LT1edit, so I can't comment. I will defer to Nic...
