Default Washington Emissoins
Hello,
I am pretty new to all of this. I was just wondering if you can pass emissions in Washington with lt's (race style) and no cats. My car is a 1998 Z28 Camaro. I heard that as long as you get the codes tuned out then you will be fine. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Just sniffer and gas cap for pre-OBDII. Slapped on the CAT's for my LS7 last week and ran it thru and it almost had ZERO emissions literally!

Damn... I like the car in your sig. I've got an 88 ls no motor or trans. I've always wanted to drop an lt1 or ls motor in it. Debating whether to keep or sell.

so i'm guessing i could have gone with a more aggressive cam instead of my emissions cam, since they just plug into my obd2 and just scans for codes?
