Good evening gentleman. For those people on here with an LS3 and in a state with California type emission laws, have you been able to get your car past emissions/inspections? I live in CO and they are very similar. Also, any who are running catalytic converters and your source of purchase. Appreciate any input. I have a new LS3 and am curious if I will be able to get it through.
Thanks! Brett |

Forgot something STUPID important if it applies!
Down here you can register your car as a "Classic" as long as it is at least 25 years old. Classic registration has limitations on use that are NEVER enforced down here. You're supposed to be using it as an enthusiast, not using it as a "daily"... Same basic use rules similar to Hagarty Insurance Cheaper registration and ZERO inspections. Really old cars will not pass a normal safety inspection anyways. Some didn't have parking brakes or seatbelts. High beam indicator? Not a chance! Functional wiper system-nope. Might check if Colorado has something like that, many states do... My car will be registered "Classic" when it lives again. My 98 M3 became eligible last year. I could NOW pop the LS3 in it and get tags back in Tarrant County, the non-attainment County I grew up in. That's a drop-dead easy way to do it legally if available... |
