What about say, 98 cars that have the ls6 intake, with no egr? I have the fittings for the air pump, and egr stuff, but no place for the egr on the ls6 intake. how the hell do i get around that??

 

Yeah there would be a LOT of people in this state spending a LOT of money to get their cars smog legal.

 

so inspection test- they make sure you have EGR and cats correct? what if i have a turbo- does it have to look stock under the hood- and cant i just get rid of the codes in the ecu so it aint gonna be that back

but does it have to look stock under the hood?

 

We could start a petition and send it to all of the representatives.

 

that we could- i like that

 

Can you tell me what state agency sent the flyer around. Perhaps they have a pdf on their website.

 

Can you to hook me up when I come in town?

 

hell no.. LMAO



we'll see.. this all still has to pass first.. remember its a proposal..

 

$50 says some news station is going to blame this on street racers.

 

Even high-flows can hurt turbo cars. Not so much with NA/Supercharged cars but any restriction after the turbine can seriously affect spool and to a lesser extent power. Then there's problems with leaded race gas and with melting cats with high EGTs/ rich mixtures. None of these are total game-enders for average NA cars but they really screw over the turbo guys.

 

I really feel sorry for you turbocharged, supercharged, and spray folk... Are there any N/A guys that have tossed around the possible idea of just having a second exhaust system and tune (stock obvoiusly) to swap in just to get the inspection and then put back to your normal setup? How much could a plain stock exhaust run you, really? I mean, who the hell wants'em? You could probably go to a couple junkyards and find all the pieces for a good price. Then tune it to pass and save that tune just like the exhaust for the next time your inspection is due. Sounds like alot of work but, Not really that much money if your just running heads, cam, and simple bolt ons.

All you guys joking about getting the 'hook-up' I hope are aware of the serious implications there... My question though is, would it technically be illegal to test somebodies work around just to see if it will pass whatever standards are pushed??? Like, will one of you guys working at a shop be able to just run the test unoffically for us? haha...

Plus, this is 2009 we're talking about... thats over 2 years away,... I'm sure there will be plenty of ideas and work-arounds if this really goes into effect.

I wonder if st. johns county will be in there... No major cities here really, and alot of redneck-ville in the west part of the county.

 

I will simply do what i did wehn emissions were still legal...tip the man. None of my cars had cats and were totally enviornment un-friendly as per their test. Money moves the world.

 

this is why I kept my stock ****, looks like I will put it on only if they say something about it, if not I won't change. If I would have to change, the stock crap would only be on for a day.

 

Holy Caps Lock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

U KNOW ITS GONNA BE FUNNY WHEN I GO FOR MY FIRST EMSSIONS TEST AND THE GUY FIRES UP THE T\A...

I MEAN ON A COLD START THE ******* THING SPITS A UNBURNT FUEL OUT THE BACK, I MEAN YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET YOUR FEET A LITTLE DIRTY BY STANDING MY THE EXAUST. I DONT SEE ANYONE BELIEVEING THAT MY CAR IS LEGAL

BUT I GUESS IN THEORY IF THEY EVER DID A SNIFFER TEST IN FL COULDENT YOU JUST GO INTO HP TUNERS AND TEMPORALLY SET YOUR TARGET AFR TO SOMETHING REDICULOUSLY LEAN

 

Whats the law say about older cars? Are they exempt?

 

Which really doesn't make sense since these are the cars that you see smokin up the roads while driving.

 

true however they didnt come with cats from the factory so I dont see how the state can make you have them.

 

From what it sounds like, if they are pre- OBDII, they are exempt

 

If is anything like the law in Nevada then they do a sniffer and OBDII testing and if your car is over 25 years old you are exempt. I guess they test for different things on the older cars that don't have OBDII
