Moving to Phoenix - Inspection help?
Moving to Phoenix - Inspection help? So I’m going to moving to Phoenix in June, and am hoping to bring my Camaro down with me eventually. I understand Maricopa County requires vehicle inspections, but I keep seeing conflicting information about exactly what gets tested (sniffer, codes, visual?). Even a call to the inspection station left me scratching my head..
My car is an 02 Z28, H/C/I. I also have full aftermarket exhaust (its pretty loud), but I do have functioning cats. My car came equipped with AIR (emissions), but I deleted the pump and the lines. I still have all that junk, but my headers have no provisions for re-installation of the AIR pump on them. I also have my rear O2 sensors deactivated in my tune.
For anyone familiar with the inspection process, how boned am I? Are there any good shops in the area that could help me get through the inspection? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I researched this for a possible move to the Phoenix area and as long as the SES light works (KOEO-on) and turns off when the car is started it will pass the first part. The second part will be a computer scan that will scan rpm, and sensor functions as well as any obd2 and readiness status. If your tune is done right and show readiness status, you should be good to go.
My wife just got her obd2 car done today in maricopa county. They plugged into the computer for rediness and did the gas cap test. That was it. Pretty simple. She was in and out in a few minutes. Hope that helps! We just moved here a few months ago. Its a fantasitc city and state.
