i passed with a test pipe and perrin CEL fix!
it was really simple indeed... just to let you guys know.. if ur test is coming up

 

Thanks for the info! That is the exact setup I'm running, so I should have no problem. This takes some weight off my shoulders.

 

IL will not do the sniffer on our cars. I was a little concerned when all the workers came over to check out my car when it was running, thought a human sniffer would detect the lack of converter but it was all good.

 

yea i was a little nervous at first!

 

Haha awesome I've got the same cel fix and it's good to know that it works!

 

I started a post like this last month.

 

yea but u have the anti foulers.. so now we know both work

 

i just got the letter yesterday. Its good knowing the cars are passing with test pipes

 

Emission tests in Illinois? I never have had to, nor have i heard about them happening here. Thats strange.

 

Uh, yeah.

Only had to do it on 1 car; seems I trade them off too fast!

 

I just got mine done. It took four minutes (No exageration) from the time I pulled up to the time I pulled out (Come on now...pervs)with my passing certificate. It was the easiest thing I've done. They pluged into my computer, and that was it. I have a 3" TBE with cat-delete (Perrin with the O2 sensor relay), among other mods.

 

Here in Ohio they use a mirror to look for a cat. I guess in Il they don't check for it? Or do you guys make it look like it is cat?

 

Yeah here in Oregon the test took less than 1 minute for my '95 Pathfinder. They threw a sniffer on the tail pipe as I pulled in, looked under the car with a mirror, took the sniffer off, and asked for $21.

So, even if my Evo passed emissions, the test pipe would NOT pass the visual inspection...

 

That's crazy. They don't look under the car for a cat, they don't hook anything up to the tailpipe, and they certainly don't charge anything. Illinois mandates this, so they don't make us pay. I'm as shocked as you are. I kept my stock cat knowing that I would one day have to do this, but I thought I would try after hearing other guys pass with a test pipe. That really sucks for you guys. Sorry.
