Emissions Testing in GA

[leetpcguy]

I have the Corksport power series catless exhaust with the nonfouler trick. My car hasn't thrown a CEL since i put it on nearly 8 months ago. I live in cherokee county and according to the Clean air force website, 1996 and newer vehicals have a two part testing process; the OBDII test and the gas cap pressure test. Will i pass with my exhaust on? If not what should i do? Any input would help.

AFAIK, you just have to not throw a CEL, and you're fine. I'm not sure what the gas cap pressure test does, though.

They make sure it seals properly. They put it on this rig that pressure tests the cap. So in short: Yes, you'll pass. Also, there's already a thread in the GA section about this same thing.

GA OBD2 testing checks for things:
1. Does the "Check Engine" light work properly?
2. Does the vehicle's Diagnostic Link Connector work properly?
3. Are the vehicle's On-board Readiness Monitors complete?
4. Does the vehicle's PCM have any DTC's stored in memory?
5. Does the gas cap hold pressure?
