S2ks should pass emissions as long as they dont throw codes since its obd2 but your car is still put on the rollers at about 2500-3k rpm.

Would the tech be tipped off at the smell or is it that 2500 light throttle smell isnt noticable???? they dont do visual in WA.

Other option of course is to switch back to cat but damn hassle as its a bitch to deinstall cat again after you put it back (have to push and wiggle exahust back really far for it to slide down)

 

change your address to like enumclaw or something you will never get tested....

 

nah I'll pass with no codes, but the smell thing does worry me a little. Maybe just being to paranoid.

 

They are suppose to do a visual check aswell, but the s2k is pretty low. I say better be safe then sorry, put the cat back in and get tested then take it out again.

 

I don't think you need to run on the dyno ..... just gas cap check and OBD2 plug-in for codes.

 

they have visual in WA? I thought they didnt. I h ave no idea why they made me rev to a co nstant RPM last year hmm is anyone else doing emissions soon? maybe its just the location.

 

interesting that you did it last year and have to this year again (it normally an every other year affair) ...... was it for Title Transfer last time or Tabs?

 

True- haven't been tested since I moved out of King County in 1995.

 

I think Snohomish County tests too so don't bother w/ an address up there.

 

Or just put the cat back in and stop stinking up our air.
