So a while back I heard from someone that Oregon doesn't do emissions and when I move back down to Oregon I'll be renewing my tabs in November and had heard I'd need to pass emissions. I was just wondering if Oregon state DOES require emissions or not. Thanks!

 

It all depends on where you live. Some municipalities require it and some don't.

If you live in Burns you don't have to worry about it. If you live in the Portland metropolitan area, you do.

You should probably check with Oregon DMV

 

you should be able to pass unless you have test pipe or aftermarket ECU. Even test ipe would be hard to detect but wouldnt risk the chance of a fine here in WA.

 

Basically anyone that lives inside the urbangrowth boundry around the PDX area needs to pass emissions. I know that down in Salem, and further south, you don't have to pass any state mandated DEQ regulations. Eugene may have it's own regs, but I doubt it.

 

Oh ok good. Or else I need to frantically start searching for my OEM cat haha.

It sounds like they only worry about emissions testing in the Portland and Medford areas.

 

Go to the DMV in clackamas. I had a rx7 turbo running straight pipes 3.1'' and I passed. I'm new here also from portland area. Near Blue Lake.

 

Hahaha wow. The area I live in (Eugene) doesn't require emissions testing so I'm safe!
