Help passing emission in CO! I'm moving to Colorado soon from Texas (Denver area) and I read on the Colorado Clean Air website that all vehicles must do the whole dyno-sniffer combo. Since I have LT's and an ORY, chances are, I will fail. Bad. So what's the secret here? We have places in Texas that will pass you either under the table or they just plug in the OBD scanner (rear O2's are tuned out) and don't look under the car. I'm very worried because I'm about to be a college student and can NOT afford cats, or any other car part for that matter! Thanks for the advice in advance!

If you know anybody in Texas just register under their address. Students don't have to register in the state that they are in. You can stay there for years and if a cop ever asks.. You just tell them that you are a student.

It is going to be registered in Texas. My parents are still going to be living here. I think what plan is going to be is to drive home over the summers and have it inspected here. It shouldn't be a problem on my part, I will be driving home regardless. But does that sound like a good/bad idea to any of ya'll? It is not obnoxiously loud, so it doesn't demand attention, but it smells like a boat. So if a cop asks me, I'm a student and it is registered in Texas and no matter what I will be OK? Do I need to weld some old cat shells over my y-pipe?

Awesome! I'm just trying to think of the worst case scenario. And that is a cop looking under my car and saying "You have no cats" and saying that they are required in Texas. What should I do then? Accept a ticket and cut my losses? Haha.
