Default Atlanta Emissions Inspection

Anyone in the area aware of an inspector or have a friend that would be willing to help out another LSX fan. OBD II scan is no trouble however the visual inspection is problematic.

Feel free to shoot me a PM with any info you have! Thanks!

Can't be the only guy in the Atlanta metro area running an ORY?

Are they really looking that closely at the inspection stations??? .... luckily, I live in a non-emission county!

Unfortunately, yes everywhere seems to be interested in doing a visual.

Boy, I am sure glad I don't have to mess with that ... no smog equipment at all including no cats!

On another note, you may want to join Musclecar-Evolution .... there are quite a few members there in the metro area that might could steer you in the right direction for what you are looking for.

Most folks around here just run gutted cats to pass visual. Got any friends with extra cats?

I wish!

Found the frozenboost false cat option, just trying to decide if I can get an exhaust shop to go hack up my brand new stainless ORY to weld them in there.

I figured it would be easier to just find a local person that's dealt with this issue before.

How about just going with hi-flow cats on a catted ORY .... would you really be losing that much rwhp/rwt? ... or you could swap it every year just for emissions, but wow, that would be a pain in the ***.

By the way, I love the NBM ... it was my first color choice when searching for an f-body!!! Ebony interior???

I've been to a few shops in kennesaw that don't do a visual check, if you're willing to drive up here.
