Default IL emissions with a loud LS1.

Anyone go through emissions around the Chicago area with an obviously modified LS1 car? Do they check for cats? Also, I'm probably going to be running a turn-down...will they bitch about no tail pipes?

I have HPtuners, so electronically, it'll pass with flying colors. But if they look under the car I'm fucked.

I brought my cammed ls1 with the exhaust dumped to the emissions place in Joliet. Guy never checked for cats, just commented on how loud it was.

I'm going to the place in Bedford Park or Summit or whatever that is over there if that helps.

Hopefully it's an 8.00 an hour guy that hates life and doesn't care.

put a magnaflow on her the guy will think its stock and slap on the sticker. Also as far as cats I will be posting a thread about my fake cats soon. I went to a local dodge dealership (friend parts manager) I got 2 bad cats from him small little boogers he thinks they came from a 300c any ways I got to work I hollowed them out and slid them over my ORY and tig welded them on looks legit added about 2lbs to my car still have straight pipes with a cat shell welded on.

'96 and up car + no SES light = anything will pass.

Cammed, ORY, loud '00 WS6 passed with zero hassles here (Skokie center).

last time I heard Illinois had not visual inspection, as long as you have no codes you pass, we just brought in a cackling LT1 in there, they didnt say anything.

LT1 won't pass? Need race car/show car insurance and then you never go to emissions again

I passed with my 1000 ++hp turbo camaro. As long as the check engine light is not on and all the monitors are set, you will be ok...

Yea...you'll be fine. I went over to the place by Harlem and Irving. The guy did comment on how loud it was, but all he did was plug it in and I was good to go.
