I fought this emissions program before it even started and still think it is a waste of money and everybodys time. Newer cars will take care of the emissions problem with time.

What's the story on the "Meeting" is it "Public" or "backdoor special"???

He said it wasn't that bad,he knew his was to loud so he put on some borrowed exhaust mufflers and shields. His is registered as 06.He went through unpainted as didn't want to chance trying in 07 because of the emissions issues.His is FE 427 crate motor from Southern engines.With stock FFR exhaust it's very loud,He's going to permantly go with quieter exhaust when he gets a chance.

Wheels427, you mentioned $40, the standard test fee at the garage sites is $20.00, with one free re-test if there is a FAIL ? Or, has there been a change ?

I checked my paperwork from 2000, the max HC was 484 using the previous centralized test sites, is it correct the HC was raised to 800 with the new system ?
