I went through CT emissions last year no problem with longtubes, high-flow cats, an open Borla, and an East Side tune (with AIR deleted.) It was at Valenti's in Mystic.

They checked for cats and did the OBD-2 scan, then I was on my way. Guy didn't believe me at first when I told him there was cats on the car, since the Jet-Hot Y-pipe has them hidden inside. Had to crawl under there and show him, but no problems otherwise.

Just be careful that you did not have the battery disconnected before you go to the test.

I let my battery run down when the car was snowed in. I charged it up and only put about 120 miles on it before emissions.

They said that the self diagnostics did not have a chance to get readings, and they had to put the car on the rollers. There was no SES light. Car barely passed, but that is probably normal. I have all emissions items and stock cam. A bigger cam would not have a chance.

Your readiness monitors didn't have time to reset, and they read as "not ready", that's why your car didn't fare so well. The readiness monitors are what the OBD-2 scan looks at, that's why you can disable things via LS1Edit and be fine.
