Woohoo, passed emissions!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Aurora40 · 04-23-2009

I was really worried that with headers and metallic cats, it would be an issue to pass Virginia's emissions inspection. However, I took the car in today, and passed by the skin of my teeth.

15mph:
HC Limit: 48ppm. Mine: 48ppm

25mph:
HC Limit: 53ppm. Mine: 39ppm

CO and NOx were not that close to the limits, but I wasn't worried about them. That's a huge relief. I don't know what my plan would have been if it didn't pass.

A car has to be 25 years old before it is exempt, so I'll have to pass at least one more test, but I'll worry about that when the time comes.

Glad to hear you passed. Sounds like one more emissions test and then it's time for the 500Hp package if not a stroker!

Good news! That's what comes from taking good care of your car.

It's always a nice day when you don't have to jump thru hoops to pass the sniff test.
