PASSED! very excited

failed the first time as a gross polluter and passed with ease the second time. The trick is the cat. Use the stock cat for the particular motor. I also used 100 octane, ran 42 psi on my front tires, reset my ecu, and cleaned my air filter before i went. the major difference between this time and the last is the cat.

Nice man, you got off lucky compared to me. how would having your tires at 42 psi help?

less friction, thus less drag on the front wheels = motor doesnt have to work as hard. idk i just wanted to do everything to pass.

I thought this too but i found out they can still give you a ref ticket. I'm sure though they are a lot more likely to let you go though.

**** thats gay! reffs suck!
good thing ive never been to it. but my friend has!
the reff was a mean ol jerk! his car didnt pass, so they impounded it until he can get a tow truck to drive it to his house so the car wouldnt run and "pollute" the air and he had to pay impound fees
