Any ways to cheat emissions?
Im going to get my car inspected for the first time and I dont have a cat. Just wondering if there were any ways to pass easier.

Doubt it will pass without the kitty, i guess it depends on how steep the limits are. But if you want to try, make sure the plugs are nice and clean, and make sure its up to temp when you go.

From the FAQs at the top of the section:
Damn n00bs!!! (Only saying that cause your post count is 7000+)
My car is having trouble passing emissions, but I have new spark plugs, filters, cats, etc. What do I do?
J-rats Recipe for cheating emissions if its ABSOLUTELY necessary:
1. Turn variable resistor to full lean, or as lean as you can get and still run.
2. Trick ACV into pumping air to the cat all the time by removing the FORWARD UPPER vac hose, and capping it.
3. Run 87 octane
4. Run your tank down till your almost empty.
5. 2-3 bottles of alcohol in the tank. Drive VERY GINGERLY to the emissions station.
6. Once you pass go, DIRECTLY to a gas station and fill up with regular unleaded.

1. That does NOT describe a TurboII ACV
2. Just WHERE did the person who wrote that think the air from the airpump was going anyway?

in a before-and-after session of e-testing my car with and without alchohol, the alchohol didn't reduce NOx emissions at all, whereas that is something that is catalyzed by the cats, so i don't think that you can pass that portion of the test. i don't know the exact chemistry behind it, so maybe my results were just a fluke, but beware.

Someone with a full standalone doesent have an ACV, or a variable resistor...
Also, why would you put regular unleaded in the car after the test?

This is not a perfect science, its just some tricks I have used in the past to get dirty FCs through the sniffer. Remember, I didnt always have an EMS.
And if you want to get REALLY technical. The best way to pass emissions is to FIX YOUR DAMN CAR CORRECTLY!!!
