Default VA Emissions question regarding cams

Good evening all.

I have been researching fairly mild cams for my car and I was just curious what others have ran through VA emissions (OBDII cars). I have high flow cats, full exhaust, HP tuners, and it passed without issue. I am just seeing what folks have had pass out of curiosity. Thanks!

Northern VA area does. Im in Loudoun county my self. OP you can make anything you want pass with the 02's set to a constant ready state. I passed with no cats, no rear 02 sensors and a decent sized cam. Just make sure you have something that looks like a cat. The inspectors are required to check for cats.

I get harassed with long tubes and cats in Culpeper county. Can't imagine how bad it would be with a cam.

Thanks for the replies guys. Now all I need to do is narrow down which cam to go with. Decisions, decisions...

No problem, your going to need a tune to pass though... But if your doing a cam your gonna need a tune anyways. Any decent tuner can set the 02's to pass.

What about the front royal VA area? Anybody in that area know about emissions there, might possibly be relocating there.

I don't think front royal does. Frederick county and Shenandoah county don't.

Faquier Country does not either. Not sure about Warren County.

I happily left Loudoun and their anti friendly car mindset after 17 years. Always kept my TA garaged in Faquier and never had any problems.

Now I am in Frederick county and it could not be better.
