    Smog

    Hey Guys,
    It's the time for me to have my first smog test. Judging from the mods I have in my sig....will I pass the smog test legitly? I'm thinking I will but I'm kinda doubting my cat.

    I forget the brand name, but at Pep Boys they sell a "fuel system cleaner" that basically guarantees you'll pass smog. You add it a full tank of gas, and get and car smogged after you've burnt up all the gas.

    With it my camaro passed smog, and it had a bad Cat at the time.

      I see. Anyone else have any opinions about my setup? or the brand name of that system cleaner?

        I think seafoam is suppose to help with emissions.

              Sea Foam would help but the product you are thinking of is Grease Lighting Fuel System Cleaner... dont know if it works but thats the claim...

                Just passed my Emissions this morning in MD. All they did is just scan the codes. Also, they took off my gas cap and hooked it up to some tube. What is that supposed to do?

                  Gas tanks used to vent fumes to the air. Now they send them back to the engine. They're testing that you're not venting gas fumes to the air.

                  There's a safety valve if the pressure gets too big.
