I live in CT but I can't imagine the emissions testing is too much different than other states ( except for California maybe). My next test date is July of 2008. I've only owned the car for a year so this will be my first emissions test. With the high flow cats and possibly a 93 tune, am I going to fail badly? Just want to plan ahead. What experiences have others had at the DMV and emissions testing?

there is no fail badly or mildly.. its pass/fail

Where in CT do you live?? I live in CT too, I just put on high flow cats a few months ago and I am wondering the same thing. I kept my stock h-pipe just in case I fail.

I live in Hamden, and unfortunately, I don't have the stock pipe. I bought the car with the Steeda high flow cat'd X pipe. I don't know what the previous owner did with the stock pipe.That means I have to go out and buy a stock pipe just to pass emissions[:@]

That can be really expensive with the cats and all. Cheeze!! Stupid emissions!!!! I'm screwed.[:@]If you go before 7/2008, let me know how you do.

For cats its just a visual inspection. In NJ it was and I passed with high flow cats on my car. As long as there arent any CELs you should pass.

Thanks. Thats good to know. I was thinking about replacing my Steeda mid pipe anyone cause its getting a little old. If you passed without cats, then I am not worried.

i am also in CT, i passed emissions about two weeks ago without cats and a 93 tune. all i did was turned off the rear o2's so the car was not throwing a code. it probably helped that the guy who was doing the test was in my high school class.
