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 |

QUOTE(dakotaewing @ Apr 1 2024, 08:57 PM)  I live in a smog county, and just had a 1998 toyota corolla with an engine light inspected and passed. Regular plates. (Normally an engine light is on, the inspection is an automatic fail in Texas.) But, due to the new laws that were recently passed, my understanding is that in the smog counties in Texas, any car 24 years or older only has to pass safety inspection. No smog. I doubt my local inspection guys would blink on a 70's car for the omissions ( not saying that they shouldn't). The solution for CO might be a WY plate, registered to a company... We just ran our 97 Chevy 3/4 ton van through inspection. The inspection station said "last time for inspections". They said the non-smog counties are dropping all inspections next year! I believe the "Safety inspections" are a good thing. Keeps truly dangerous cars off the road. Interesting bit about 25+ in the smog counties. I wasn't aware of that. The safety inspections are SUPPOSED to include a visual check of emissions devices. They are supposed to be there! No one down here checks... They are supposed to drive the car. Many of my customer cars I DO NOT allow anyone else to drive. Putting an 18-year-old kid that cannot drive a stick in a big block Cobra replica is a MISTAKE! They have always respected my "no drive" rules. A few of my customer cars I INSIST that the customer is with me when I drive them. The Cobra was one of them. If bad shit happens I want the owner front and center... |
