My Cobra, being a small block car, has the ERA sidepipes just under the edge of the body and slightly outside so did not require the shields. Most of the big block cars have pipes sticking out further. Another piece of info that I got from the DMV emissions guys is that all composite vehicles must meet CO level of 5.0 and HC of 500. Also found out that they will run on the rolls and be checked at idle. The engine in mine is a 68 302 stroker at 347ci. Also had a conversation with them about test dates. I told them there was no way I would drive my car in the winter to be tested and that I couldn't drive it between end of November and before begining of April as I have no insurance. Their reaction was "You can make an appointment after the layover period and pay the late fee." I told them that was rediculous. They also want proof of the layover period in order to test. When I checked my VIN in the emissions data bank it came up July 2007, no problem.
I have the Edlebrock performer cam and heads and might have to change the Holly for a smaller carb to pass the test but I'll try it as is first. I think we should all keep each other informed as to where the best test places are and test results.
