emissions question???
i need to have an emmisions test very soon. and i am wondering what i need to pass? i have a turbo back exhaust so my CEL is on, and i need it fixed. i have a cat converter, and if i just switch the test pipe for the cat converter will i pass emissions? do i need to mess around with anything else, like the the ECU. im new to this stuff and i just need your help.

Put your Kitty Cat back on, clear the code, and youll be set!! Or you can try the Mechanical O2 simulator, ive seen that work and ive seen it not work too. But if you have your cat, just put it on, clear the code drive around for a few minutes and youll be good to go, Good luck!

i believe if you reset the CEL too close to your emissions test they will not pass you. i believe there needs to be a few hundred miles on your car before it is ok to test.
i have a perrin high flow, and a CBRD flash a couple months before i got my emissions this year. i didn't have any CEL codes, but the mechanic that did the inspection made a point to ask me how long it had been since i had flashed my car, saying that the ecu needs time to relearn everything before the test is valid (not his exact words. i am paraphrasing, but more or less what he said).
as for your cat situation, you may be better off swapping in your stocker for inspection in case they get under and do a visual.
