do the DP's 1st 100%. As far as emissions, here in MD all you have to do is go into the station and they hook into your OBDII port, if you have no codes you clear. they do not actually test the emissions. Now if your car is older and has OBDI they will sniff it.

My old camaro SS didnt need to get tested thank god.....I can only imagine what was coming out of that thing.

oh yeah, apparently shops charge a lot for the DP install because it really is a bitch. I did it myself w/ the help of a friend on his lift, but now I think we could do it again in 1/2 the time....we just dont want to do that again, it sucks.

After doing some research I found out that the "smog test" is done the same way here, OBDII test So I should be good since what I have understood, the RevII has a "build in O2 feature" so no soldering or extra O2 sims and hopefully no codes but before the test I'm gonna make sure that the reading will be "all clean" or I'm going to make it that way

Sounds right. The software in procede revii will simulate good 02 sensor reading and the emissions guys will see no codes.

I'm jealous, about 2 years left on warranty and only 8700 miles on the car, I am a long way from doing DP's or other major mods that can't be removed in 30 minutes or less.
