Default Arizona F-body owners with a modded car

hey guys i'm trying to move down to tucson and was curious about emissions in that area. my car is heavily modded and needless to say it doesnt have **** so would definitely fail any visual inspection. but what else is there? the car runs on e-85 so any test on the rollers will be clean.

No visual (not my car anyways). They plug into your computer port to check for a "check engine" light and they check your gas cap....and that's it.

I do have catalytic converters, but the AIR pipes on my headers are blocked off. Buty like I said, no visual. I live in Maricopa county (Phoenix). Tucson is in a different county, Pinal maybe? They might be different. Shouldn't be though, should be the same throughout the state.

I just did emissions in chandler. There is suppose to be a visual but they never check, there is no tailpipe emissions, and they plug in the OBD II. They didn't even trip when i brought in my car with TD dumps haha!

from what i have seen,
worst case, they check your gas cap and check for engine codes.
best case, you wont have any emissions testing.

Tucson is in Pima county, they have emissions as well but I'm not sure they are any stricter than Maricopa. If you have ODBII they just plug in. I've never had a visual, or I'd have failed a long time ago.

seriously so easy. I tested my h/c with dual dumps, the place was echoing from the sound of the car. passed with flying colors

I live in Tucson. Only thing they check is OBDII and gas cap. In and out real fast. Friend had a 02 trans am that was boosted on e-85 and had exhaust dumped under his passenger seat. Passed without any problems, and you can buy 2 years tags.

If they scan it and find a code, you will more than likely fail if it is emmision related
