LOL ..
dude that notice is for a noise pollution test .. though it did state that it may have been modified watsoever.
so yeh make sure you pass the noise level ...put stockie muffler or have resonators to shut the fhker up. Cannons wont pass you so if u have one of these take it off.
what CAT are you using? stock or after market? - if either you should be fine.
Do you have an CAI or Short ram? - if so ..put the entire stockie setup back on .. - this will help with the A/F ratio to remain under emission levels as well as the noise. (if using OEM ECU)
Any other aftermarket mods? i.e. programmable ECU, bigger fuel setups (FPR, Bigger injectors) ??? - if so, good luck as neither of this will help you lower your emissions...even if you get the ECU detuned to pass emissions ...it will still fail. - ppl are charging 1000+ for "emissions pass" tune ...but they put a disclamer that there is no guarantee and no refunds... (dont bother with these)
ive tried this on my old Hondabishi ..(vtec turbo on a cb lancer hatch - frankenstine) ...i already had the EMS detuned, 2 CAT's and 2 Resonators ...
i pased the noise levels ...but failed the emissions 3 times ...and each time u fail u pay a fee for retesting ... ...so try to get it done right first time as its free.
if your car is not turbo and practically close to stock apart from I/H/E ..then i would suggest just to lower the noise levels and put the oem airbox back in ...
fill up a nice fresh of 98ron fuel (if your vehicle states premium only)...
otherwise ..if you pass all ...just register your car in another state ....thats another story for a pass!
good luck champ ...
