So, i just went for NJ emissions, my car has been idling funny so i wasnt sure if it was going to be all good...

However, i passed with flying colors

first number is what you have to be below, second is my result:

NOx 1006 192
HC 132 16
CO 0.73 0.12

Are most cars this low.... (or most states this high)... I wonder if i would be able to pass once i get my new exaust (no cats)

Has anyone passed emissions, nj or otherwise, without cats?

Mine was somewhere in that neighborhood when I did it.

vectorminds

yeah, the do it at the same time... i got mine done at the westfeild station... and besides the fact that it took 8 years to get thru the line....

just make sure you get there early, like an hour or so before your time, cuz i waited in line for an hour even though i had an appointment

sectachrome

thanks, ill do that. i just ordered the special license plate frame from mazda too, hope i get it in time.

I think they do group our cars together.
Cause both my RX's are required to pass in September.

Depends on state, test and age of car. In NYC they dyno at various speeds for a couple of minutes following a graph. In NJ I think they do idle and an RPM test. Standards are even lower in NYC, HC allowed is 120 can't remember the rest. If you have a cat on its a good health check of how your running-my '88 vert was way under the limits.

Forgot to mention the cat issue-I think you'll fail in NJ wthout cats. I had old rattling cat on my car when purchased, failed HC only reading was like 150 where limit is 120. After new cats HC went down about 90% to about 15. So I think the cat does most of the work for HC. I had tried tune up, o2 sensor, air filters before cat they barely made a difference for HC.

F#ck! Not here in ON, Canada. I'm still trying to pass my car up to know. Our standard is too low for what I think.

(Both from 40 km/hr roll)
HC%: 76 -----> I got 122
CO%: .46 -----> 0.56

For the idle test, I passed with flying colors too (sorry I don't remember the #s).

In that city you get a specific type/color license plate and you can't use your car on certain days.

most emissions standards aren't that high vector, but my Rex has no cats (gutted) and i could still pass w/ those. ((tested the car not too long ago, HC was like 144 w/ a leaky injector))
