Why are you moving to the D/FW area? Have you already secured a job? What type of place do you wanna live? Rent or Own? Married/Single?

no emissions via tailpipe on your Z, simply plug and play. so if you have a hollow log, some O2 sims are in order.

As long as you're not throwing any codes, then you'll be ok. Cats are required of course but it depends on the shop you go to on whether or not they actually look for them.

BADFNZ...I love the warning you got about your sig pic...LOL!!! Some admin really has it out for you!

About the emissions, a lot of the hole in the wall places will not look under the car for cats. No codes = pass! Good luck with the job...
