Default Help me pass emissions! Tuning suggestions?

Sup Efer's---I have to pass emissions this week, and do not have my stock exhaust nor the money to put one on. I already put the stock intake, plug wires and ecu back in, which I think will help me cause the pg7 runs rich. Anyways my current exhaust is a stock header/b-pipe, stock hollowed cat, and alum. piping to a dc axleback which must stay do to loot issues. How can I temporarily tune my car to pass emissions? Help. Or would I be better off trying to slip the guy a twenty....gimme some feedback cause I know some of you have been on the same boat.

Since you have an illegal exhaust you might want to try to use the Pass emissions stuff in a can. A hollowed out cat will eventually bite you. As to using bribery-that depends and I'm not one to go along with that.
Just my 2 cents

There is almost no way you will pass w/o a cat....that is the main part of your emissions equipment. If you can get a cat, i would also suggest an oil change, plugs and wires. That is everything we do to get our cars to pass at the dealership I work for. With out the cat you're FU**ED sorry
