i need to go through emissions this weekend and i dont have cats. no check engine light. what do they do during the test here in ct? what are the chances that ill pass?

1996 and up: OBDII scan for codes and a visual.
With no cats, I doubt you'll pass.

Depends where you go, Some look, some dont, IF you fail, then they start looking

If you pass scanner there should be no reason for a visual...Ive known a couple people to pass with NO cats.

Just go, if you fail you can go do a retest in 30 days just put something on the looks like a cat. Either way you're going to have to do something (think you will fail and put one on, or fail and put one on) Might as well wait and see what happens, if they ask you something just say you bought it like that and didn't know you didn't have one.

I also think you should go to a place with less to prove (one of the smaller shittier places) I wouldn't go to any type of dealer test facility that might go that extra step so they don't get in trouble.

I got mine done @ Firestone In Norwich, they did look under the car for Cats. They guy even looked funny under the hood @ the Headers I guess. The car did pass.

they just hookup the odb2 and if theres no codes you pass.

some do look under the car, if they question you say you have them and stick to it. lol


best bet is go to a busy midas were some young kid is working for cheap labor, they normaly do it qwk and dont look under the car..

shutzero

still havent gotten it doen, super busy with work...but i met someone who will pass me who works at a garage near the hamden dmv so im good whenever i can muster up time to get there lol

I got a shop that scans and if it passes it passes and no visual is needed

I can see this post is a year old but has anyone had any luck around the branford/north branford area. I have race headers and everything tuned out with an ORY. I am just worried about the cat check lol. Thanks

you will most likely need to put cats on for the visual unless you find a place that will not look but it is a 50/50 chance and usually bites me in the ***

Anyone having any luck with putting something that looks like a cat some where around the ORY pipe?

Some company sells hollow pipe shaped like a cat in various sizes, I've seen the link on here before.
