Ok well i got my notice in the mail to take the car in for emissions. I have Jet Hot LT's and i see no possible way of putting cat(s) down there. Theres just no room. So just so i understand what im facing. I show up, they plug my car into the computer scanner, if my car shows no codes or warning lights they pass my car and im free? or will they do the smog test no matter what? How the hell am i gonna get through this?

you wont pass the visual inspection

What year is yours? If its a 94 then you are in a hard spot. Cuz they will put you on the rollers. You might get lucky and pass anyways without a cat, but probably not.

Well if you dont pass you can call the state and ask for a excemption form and they will fast pass you but you have to get like show car or race car insurance or specail plate my buddy had to do it on his 92 z just call the state they will give you info on it.

would there be anyway to extend my deadline? Like say that my car is not working and i cant take it?

eagleknight97

Well, i know that you can go and fail and then you need to take it again in a certain amount of time. I dont know what amount of time that is though. So you can always call em up and ask.

hmpm.......my only concern is that if i show up and the know that i dont have a cat that they'll report me or something. My car
seriously is not operating. Its in my garage just chillin

Never had anyone in IL actually to the visual check, but you may pass anyways with no cats, I've seen people do it before.... If you don't pass you have awhile to do it again...
