Inspection Questions

So if i turn of my air, egr, and rear o2's....and without a visual inspection, would my car pass inspection as far as when it is plugged into the machine? I need to know since my car is several days out and I'm getting paranoid.

Car is a 99 t/a

The car will pass the OBD test, the visual will depend on how hard your inspector looks at the car.

Cool so by turning them off through a tune it will read "ok" on those fields, I just have to convince them not to look under it then?

your air and egr should be no problem but nocats is more difficult because most people can smell that a car has no cats, promting them to look underneath and check. it just depends on ow much the inspector is in a hurry or how much attention he is paying to your car. some inspectors love to fail cars some just want to get them in slap on a sticker and get it out. if the first place fails it try another.
