Default emissions failed help!!!!!

[sm=boohoo.gif] I just took my emissions test for my 90 5.0 and I failed horribly. My readings were 3.43 and the composite was 0.80 for my hydrocarbons.For carbon minoxide the composite was 15.0 my reading was 31.4 I need advice on what I should do. I'm also catless, so that might have a lot to do with it.

Put a catted H-pipe back on it, or move to a state without emissions testing.

lol, did you really expect to pass?

You could put some of that "guarunteed to pass" stuff in the tank, and pull an injector or two...

I hope everyone knows that the "pull an injector" suggestion was a joke.

Not a good idea.
