Any one know if you can pass emmisions with out cats in MD? I am hoping my car will be too low and get a waiver but if not will I pass if I dont have any SES codes???

Thanks,

I've NEVER seen them mirror any vehicle, and if you're 98+ you go, pay your 29 buck "emissions tax" and they scan the OBD II computer. If you have the nessecary "defeat" measures, you should be ok. They should look to see if you have any controls turned off, but...100% of the emissions monkeys probably don't know what to look for anyways.

you will pass... as long as they dont get you with the mirror (you could put the heat sheilds in place however and they wont know any differant) - i passed, you roll in they plug in under your dash, and i was out, after they guy giving the test asked "y0 y0u gOtz flowmaztaz?" i just said "uhh yeah" and left

OBD II rocks! usually they drive right over the rollers and do the test.

I am worried because I have the SLP long tube headers and they have like 3 inches of ground clearance. I know they can not pull me in there just worried they will look and see no cats.

Nah, I'm a CT guy... but it's all the same sh*t. Most emissions testers don't really give a damn about the rules. (At least here in CT) is all a big joke.

It's a big joke in Maryland too. Especially with the OBD II scan. That's why I called it an "emissions tax". Oh, and no disrespect with the monkey thing. Some of you know what you're doing, but far and few between.

In CT you will pass if:

1. Your SES (check engine light) works, but is NOT on.
2. You do not have more than 3 moniters not set/not ready
3. You have cats (in CT I have never once checked for cats unless being watched by a DMV agent)

By my best estimates I have tested 4,000-5,000 cars for the state of CT, and I can say with a strait face that the whole system is a complete joke.
