::shrugs:: Federal law takes precedence over state law. I hope that no one ever points that out on the state level for you guys.

This is a true statement, but here in Indiana where the state requirements are very lax, I have never hear of anybody being stopped and checked by the feds here.....
Also, if that was the case, over half of the cars in Michigan would be illegal. The feds have bigger fish to fry these days as opposed to somebody changing/removing their emissions setup in states that don't control it.

come to Missouri then, where my car doesn't even have to go through emissions and would still fail. Just cuz it's not enforced doesn't mean it's not law.
I know what you mean with it being a federal law, But either you have inspectors that take their jobs to serious or are straight up just being a**holes. How many of these cars actually are on the road 24/7? It's getting to the point where they are far and few between. The times i have taken my car the inspectors have commented how "cool" my car is not counting the people who are watching as well... :lol: I think most of the guys working at the test centers are gear heads as well. I am a gas emission and diesel visual and opacity inspector for my job and know most of the rules for my area. I agree if you have questions regarding your setup contact your local state public health and environment rep and discuss your issues. Most of them are pretty cool and are willing to let you know whats legal or not.There are ways to step up and fight for our hobby and vote against legislation that affects us.
Just throwing out a word of caution. I assumed I was free and clear not having to worry about emmissions on a vehicle over 26 years old (Missouri has a rolling exemption). Still seems rediculous that a state which no longer cares what comes out my tailpipes - still insists, I have a bunch of useless crap underhood and making my car less efficient.

On a related note, I bought my car from North Carolina. I guess they have a visual inspection down there so my car has cats after the headers and quiet exhaust. That all will be coming off soon. I'll save that junk in case I need it in the future or whatever

I used to live in North Carolina and there is no way I could have passed there inspection with my truck the way it is here
