i hear that once your car hits about 20 years old, you dont have to get it smoged? ever. or is this just rubbishhh?

 

i think its 25years?? hmmmm...

 

Depends on what state/county and 20 years old I think is mostly incorrect. Its 30 years in Oregon.... or atleast it WAS... now its just anything older than 1974 or something. Not sure about cali... I doubt they would be that lax.

 

no it is not true, it used to be when the car hits 30 but they even stopped doing that

 

if u lived in chicago they dont test pre OBD2 cars anymore

 

well if you live in florida there's no emmission laws here

 

Yeah right.

 

It is illegal to remove your emissions equipment.

But there are no emissions tests whatsoever.

 

How do they know?! Are there yearly inspections or something?

Actually, now that you meantion it... they pull you over for aftermarket exhaust.. right?

 

About a year ago I heard it was 30 years in most states but after 25 the DoT doesn't require tests.

 

CA law is non-diesel vehicles 1976-present must test. 75 and older is exempt. It used to be a rolling exemption (anything 30 years and older is exempt) but they stopped at 76. CA=

 

some states like Pennsylvania are 25 years and some places are 30 years...some places dont have emmisions testing at all....yay for alabama.....90 percent of the state wouldnt pass anyway

 

Ya, it depends on the state. In cali I think it's 1974 or older like someone said. In Oregon there are no emissions tests, so that's a plus!

 

Currently in the areas of texas that have emmisions it is 25 years or older that are exempt. I have heard that this will stop with '86 cars, but I tend not to believe much of what that guy says, sop who knows.

 

^^ Uhm.... I see your name says "oregon" under it... but have you ever BEEN to oregon?

I don't have DEQ in my area.. but the entire portland metro area, all of washington county, medford, and I think Bend has DEQ.

Most of Yamhill county and other very desolate areas don't have it. I'm assuming you live in one and have never left it.

 

They dont, no inspections whatsoever.... ever

Not even for the Turbovert I brought in from out of state (Racing Beat Turbo-back Exhaust and no emissions). DMV didin't bother taking a look at the car, I just registered it without any extra steps from a Florida vehicle.

I don't know what would happen if you got pulled over for an exhaust. I figure 99.99% of the time it's because of noise. Since it's Florida I suppose you pay the tiny fine to say you fixed it and be done with it. I got a $55 ticket for my uber dark front window tint and they never bothered to check if I had taken it off or not (I didn't)

 

Cali's emission laws = +10000

 

Tri-cities,WA = no emission testing :P , only thing they hit us for is modified exhuast...as most everyone i hang out with has non on there car

 

For CA boys, junk them SA/FB, FC and FD and whatever letters there are. Invest on a pre-76 old school cars; the smog exempt vehicles,








































And I have one for sale.

 

junk junk junk junk jkun jnku jukn

 

I think I would rather have emissions testing than enforced modified exhaust.

Atleast you can buy passing exhaust, and throw your grey-area exhaust back on after the test. The cops aren't LOOKING for you.
