I/H/E but want to pass inspection

[BillsTC]

I am currently in the process of buying a tc. And i want to start out with I/H/E and i know a little about cars but not too much. with getting i/h/e, anyway i can still keep my cat and pass inspections?

I live in NY by the way.

And i'm glad to be part of this site, now i just can't wait to get my tc.

Isn't NY pretty lax about their Emissions?

Not sure, but if you have a set up, like I do, (wrench set, lift, stands, and work space) you can just install the I/H/E, when it comes time to SMOG, replace OEM parts, test, come back, and re-install.

Granted it takes time, better than any other riskier methods.

that's probably the easiest way for me. and hopefully i can still get one of my cousins to just pass the inspection even though he lives out of state now. thank you for your help.

Yeah, if you live in CA, buying off a SMOG inspection has gotten pretty bad, (I live in the L.A. area) so just sticking out the few hours of labor in one day for a 2 year smog gurantee isn't so bad in hind sight.

Is it true that they hook a sniffer up to your car in Cali?

If so, thank god for the saftey inspection here in VA...

[Soulbane]

Yes sir.

The "stealth" looks wont work.

They put a registering probe into your muffler and check levels of emissions.

In California you must pass 3 tests to pass emissions:

1. OBD check
2. Visual Check
3. Sniffer Check

It's a wonderful place.

Ha I have it lucky here in Arkansas! NO inspection, no front license plate or anything like that, It's great!

Yeah well.......... California > Arkansas!

Hah!
