i live in south GA they dont do emissions test here, iirc thats only done in Atlanta and macon areas fwiw

 

I'm in the Atlanta area and they DID check for my cats with a mirror thing on the end of a long pole. My car is pretty low and he was still able to see them.

 

You passed a smog test with no cats??? Do you have the results to hand (or at least, the pass/fail levels that the test requires), I'd be real interested to see them - I'm pretty sure there is no way you would pass a CA smog test with no cats...

FAILED!!!!!! I guess now I'll have to spend the whole weekend putting all my
old parts back on & putting the stock tune back in

 

Did they look under the car or it just failed the computer test?

 

I didn't see him look under the car. I still have my cats though. after reading my
printout it may not be so bad it passed everything but the readiness test, so I'm
hoping I just need to drive it far enough to get the computer to recycle

 

Here in ATL they do look under the car with a mirror on a pole. Same thing they use to look for bombs/drugs etc under cars. This was with my GF's focus.

 

Yep I had the same problem last year and was forced to go back to my stock Hpipe. Im getting mine tested soon then putting my catless H back on. lulz

 

Damn..... I want an o/r x but I really dont want to got throught taking it off ever year for emissions.....Maybe I take my buddy up on reg. the car to his house in athens......damn Tree Hugger.....I laugh at gobal warming! haHA

 

I have turn downs so they have to crawl up under my car to put the sniffers in...i run a x pipe all year except for the couple of hours that I need to get my emissions done..just swap the pipes out for the test and swap them back when i get home
