if you have engine swap run it as hot rod. Or just buy an aftermarket cat for 100 bucks use it, sell it if you need to. ---

RUn it HOT, stick a leg stockign full of activated charcoal (pet strore), throw it in your exhaust, the charcoal filters out ALOT of the emissions. People go from a failing 76 to a passing 12 easily by doing this. ---

dont know if i can get u tested as a hotrod but i know for a fact that a car will pass a TSI without a cat everytime…its extremely rare that a car will fail a TSI unless theres amajor vaccum leak…my buddy has a dodge avenger with no cat or resonator and has a bad O2 sensor and it passes TSI everytime…the best thing to do if u dont want to come all the way to london is find someone with a above ground etest machine and have u car lowered as much as u can and still be able to drive it…a body kit helps even more lol… ---

I have my drive clean license and i can tell you it will not pass for sure. They wont even run it if it has no cat. Your better off getting a bootleg test, or slap a cat on. I have an HKS highflow cat if ur stuck in a rut and want to rent it to run your car. It passed my 180 with flying colours. I have a test pipe on it now so i have it off the car. Let me know. ---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ---------- and he MAY pass with a TSI but you may be buying yourself an audit. They look into that from time to time. If they see that a RWD vehicle that has no reason not to be run normally they wonder wtf is going on. ---

Man pay a mechanic to diagnose it( roughly $100 depending on hourly rate of the shop) and you can get a conditional pass as long as the estimate to make it pass emissions is $450(which is very easy to go past) ---------- Post added at 02:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ---------- i mean $450 or over ---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ---------- i mean $450 or over
