the other thing to remember is that your car only has to pass the emissions standards that were in place for it's model year. their tester only tests to those numbers. it doesn't matter if the standards become more strict, they're not retroactive. you can't make a car more efficient than it was originally built.

The mechanic I talked to told me that with the scanners they will be using that they could tell that its not stock and I might not pass. thanks
