any 96 and earlier guys have experience with the new emissions testing yet??

Mine is coming up in July, not too far away, gotta put the cats in finally and rehook the AIR fittings.

Still running stock programming with CAI and FLP LT's, wonder if that will hurt me? Might need to find someplace to reprogram for me on short notice, any ideas?

i failed for Nox the first time, but changed plugs, fixed my y-pipe leak, and put my egr valve back on and passed. came kind of close on HC the 2nd time, but i got a sticker and thats what counts. i wouldn't think you would need programming with stock cam/heads, but i know my car is running lean for some reason, so it might help.

I have a stock car, and it had some good way to go before it could have failed anything. I can't see how you could pass with long tubes, they dont have the AIR fittings, thats the first thing they looked at on my car.

my buddy did mine on the new test before may 1st just to test it out. i failed all 9 tests unfortanetly. but fortanetly it was before may 1st, so he ran the old test and i passed barely. i have an off road pipe and a cutout and slp exhaust.

My car passed here in Austin (not doing emmissions testing here.... yet) with no smog pump, no egr on my LT's. But i'm going to be adding all that back to my car soon just in case.
