EPA standards left to states? I am moving from tulsa to dallas soon, I am concerned about emmision testing. I own a 99 T/A M-6 with longtubes, ORY, Borla, I have a LS-6 intake with no egr, I have a Stealth II MTI cam installed on stock heads.
In the attic I have all stock parts, and some Hooker shortubes also, can I install the Hookers, factory cats and Y-pipe, just to pass, or will I be shot down by the cam and no egr? the car is only tuned with a vinci/crane handheld, should I go ahead and have the car dyno tuned before before the exhaust change, and tune the egr out?

In Dallas and surrounding counties OBDII cars are hooked up to a scanner and checked for codes and other safety items- brakes, tires wipers ect so as long as your not showing any codes you should be OK depends how the inspector is - it always helps to know somebody.
Just what we need, another damn okie 
J/K.... I have never had a problem, just like zman said. They hook it up to a scanner, its runs its test and as long as no codes are thrown, there is no tailpipe test. They have never done a visual either, as my car cannot be pulled all the way into the bay at the jiffy I go to for inspections

actually u need to check the readyness moniters..... IF u only have 1 incomplete or not ready u will do fine... texas changed the requirements like in september from allowing 2 not readys to only allowing 1.. which sucks because i have 2 that come up not ready.....
so i will have to figure out something to get it to pass...... but honestly unless the person doing the state is a dick..... it should pass.. if all ur saftey stuff is good...
