Read this in Popular Mechanics (sept issue), thought it was an interesting read since I failed emissions twice last year and about to do it again next month:

nice article, now i got some **** to try out if any of the cars fail. :D

did you find out why your car failed last year? how'd you get it to pass? was it cuz of the AFC?

high nox levels, i riched it up with my afc and it passed. but i don't have it anymore so we'll see what happens this time. maybe some octane booster will work too.

Dayum I wish they would do the same here. Its pretty much a joke any way. I heard of old worn down trucks that while burning oil and passing smoke every where still pass with flying colors while brand new cars fail it.
