NoVA: Need emissions help

So after wasting my whole morning and visiting 3 shops, I still can't register my car. The first shop failed me for visual because they didn't like the airpump anti-moo cap or the vented CRV. The second shop couldn't get my car onto their dyno due to ground clearance issues. The third shop got me onto their dyno/ramps which was at a really steep angle, couldn't find my main cat and then when they started the car it started smoking like a chimney. Dunno if the weird angle caused premix to get sucked up or what but I've just about had it. I don't have any more time to waste running around hoping I pass emissions. I'm ready to sell the car and be done with it. If anyone has any hookups, please PM me.

With a fresh tank of gas and no pre-mix I passed today. The actual numbers are pretty good. Guess it's a good thing I didn't give up on the 3rd try.
