so far we are told we are to do a VISUAL inspection of all emissions systems..

which is ok cause 01-02's didn't have egr so you should be fine there.. and as long as your tuned and have no codes.. a set of gutted cats should clear you..

I don't think this will work to well.
They have tried before and failed. We will see, but I am guessing the older cars will pass and as long as you have a cat on the car you should be good (since it's illegal not to have them anyway)

So its only for obdII and III cars? The older cars that burn a quart of oil every 500 miles and pollute more than our heads/cam cars don't have to get inspected?

well we shall see how this plays.. if your car is tuned you should have no cat code..so its all visual.. just weld a hollowed cat around the pipe..

and make sure you have a friendly inspector..
