> Is it the '98 in your name? If that’s the case and your OBD II, there may be a loophole for at least one year if you go over the exemption requirements. If the emissions machine can’t read the computer it will offer the option to continue without testing the OBD II connector. It will pass it for at least that year. It does state you have to get it fixed by the next year though, but I don’t know if you could do it again.

yes, thats what im trying to figure out here… there has to be a way for me to do this

lets say i get it inspected with emissions, then after that i do the swap, and drive less than 5000 miles for the next year, wouldnt that make me exempt from emissions meaning i could do the swap?
