Thumbs up How low to go for emmsions? Feedback needed!

Hey guys, I have to go through emissions at the end of the summer. I have a FI car and AEM that is not gonna pass. If you drop the car down sometimes in MD they will waive you through. Has anyone on MD on say espliers springs got waived through or is that not low enough.

Any products you could recommend that would let me drop the car then raise it back up?

This is now false. They don't do that anymore. They have removed the rollers

and it is still and ODBII car so they would still hookup and check readings. They did not do my car once because they did not know where the ODBII port was. They now know where the connectors are.

I don't think there are any bumps. If I'm not mistaken they visually check to see if your cat is there and then check to see if there are any CELs stored on the ECU.

I just went a month or so ago and they have removed the rollers. Its idle test only for pre-obd-II cars

Espelir will not be low enough anyways...they have ports with rollers and ports without. If they see you are too low, you know where they'll move you to. The emissions facility closest to me still has rollers/speed bump looking mechanisms in all ports.
