Testing is based on county and ZIP code, not towns/cities specifically.

All counties around Chicago test. I beleive only 9 counties in IL do testing, 6 around Chicagoland and 3 near St. Louis.

if you have an ls1 that's tuned with edit or hp you really have nothing to worry about. Took the guy literally two minutes from start to finish on my car although it's not too loud. Didn't even look underneath it, i think your appearance may play a factor in that part though.

its not hard to pass emissions. My buddy had a 5.0L F150 with straight pipes all the way back and he did better on emissions than my pos 88 oldsmobile. of course he shoved pieces of catalytic converter into his exhaust manifold but either way... its easy to pass
