Does Pierce County do emissions testing? (Smog Check)

Do they actually plug something up to your exhaust like in California OR is it just a OBD2 reader?

Just OBDII check, they are never that interested in anything other than getting a car in and out so they can go on with the day. I ran a 3" turboback exhaust without them caring or checking. You'll be fine

^the person doing your emissions testing will likely even joke with how there is no way your car will pass...as it passes (assuming you are tuned properly).

you of course realize it isn't Tim's fault, but the media's fault... I still think he should rock the monk look though :

It's time to change my oil but now I don't have a garage i can fit the car into. Looks like they got good reviews on yelp and only charge $10 for 30min shop time for oil change.

Looking through the pictures on the website shows an WWX owner swapping exhaust. Anyone here?
that seems pretty expensive for something as simple as an oil change.

Yeah.. I had full catless TBE on my GTI. Failed, said I needed over a thousand dollars worth of work... Bought a o2 spacer for $40, and unhooked the battery. Passed the next day.

There's only 92 around these parts and E85 if you can find a station.

There are (were) occasional pop-ups of 93. There was a Shell station near i-90/i-405, and a Chevron near i-5 by a movie theater called Cinnebarre. I think they both stopped carrying it. The 92 grade around here is very inconsistent, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
