^^^^ What he said. I passed with my mods. Had to remove the OR/H pipe and splice in cats, add 02 sensor raisers on the rear cats and a Brenspeed emissions tune and passed with flying colors. Went right back to my OR/H pipe and performance tune afterwards.

To get achieve system readiness it was for me as simple as this. Make sure the fuel tank is around half full. Drive at moderate speeds. Stopping, starting. Cruising at 40-50 mph. I drove about 12 miles then parked the car overnight. Took the car to work the next morning 17 miles on back roads with max speeds around 55 or 60mph. Car sat for three hours. I then checked system readiness monitors with my Actron 9125 and all systems were ready. Drove to the test center and passed.

Thanks for all the info. Just passed today. Disconnected/reconnected the battery for the heck of it last night. Drove like 8 miles to Advance Auto to get the Actron cp9125 tool. Guy was super cool; let me use the store tool...only one "inc" (vs ok) so he said it should pass. Drove straight back to emissions place and it passed. All good except paying for emissions twice.
