Street Ported & Street Legal
From my reading it sounds like a street-ported engine is not emissions-legal, however, they typically pass emissions testing so no one is the wiser. Have I got that right? I'm in MD, btw.
Thanks,

I believe that a street port with all emissions in place should still pass muster. I don't think that the load on the emissions components would be that much higher with just the port job. I'm no expert on this though, I'm from Michigan (no testing).....

^^^ True. The level of streetporting and the regulations of each state may affect your chances. Large streetports might not pass while mild street ports may. You never know. You definitely need a minimum of an air pump and a cat to have any chance of it. Technically according to the book, a streetport is illegal. This doesn't mean they can't physically pass a sniffer test though.
