Seems like there's recently been some discussion of passing the sniffer. It was finally time for another stupid sticker on my car, so I cringed as the mechanic stuck the sniffer up my pipe. My FD has a downpipe, a Bonez hi-flow, catback, a stage 2 street port, and a PFC, so I had no idea what the numbers would be. To my pleasant surprise:

HC(ppm): 0043 (220 std)
CO(%): 0.00 (1.20 std)
CO2(%): 15.2 ------
(ambient temps were about 95F)

No CO at all?!? And the HC's were well below standard. Kick ***! Just didn't want people to be scared of some of these mods. It doesn't necessarily make your car dirty....

 

congrats!!! thats good 2 know in case we ever get it here.

 

good job guy.i know in fayetteville they dont use the sniffer yet.but i pay friend who gets me one.i live closer to winston-salem now.

 

Yeah, I forgot to mention that's with block-weld-fixed leaking coolant seals.....heeyyy, maybe that's the secret.....

Apparently within two years most all the counties in NC will have the emissions tax, er, I mean testing ($30 for emissions counties, $10 for others....but it's definitely about air quality!). Unfortunately it looks like that's the trend everywhere.

 

I still bet the dump that my car is registered in won't and that's why I keep it registered there!

 

What exactly did you do to fix the coolant seals? Did it take long? Going for my emissions test and not that I have leaking coolant, but just good info to know in case :P Thanks, -Joe

 

I was just being silly about the leaking coolant seals helping, but I used the K&W block weld in the coolant as a temporary fix. Do a search on "block weld" and you'll find a ton of recent stuff. Bottom line is it truly is a miracle fix.

 

hey daemon thats a badass pic of an fd u have comin around that corner

 

lol, ok TailHappy...hahaha Sorry for my ignorance :P And im4u, thanks, I don't know where I got it, but it's a sweet pic, I have a closer pic of the car too, it's a really nice setup.

 

arkansas doesnt have emission laws
