Depends on the county. So maybe he lives in a county that doesn't require the enhanced smog test which requires dyno testing. Basic smog is just at idle and 2500 rpms. I live where it's only a basic and no dyno, too.Originally Posted by guysandiego

That's good to know I have to take my car to be smogged on Saturday, so cross fingers it passes as well.

Here in VA, it used to be on a dyno at different rpms, with a sniffer in the exhaust. Now its plug into the ECU, sniffer in tail pipe, and gas cap test.

In NC we just do OBII tests.. I used to live in MD and VA so I remember the days of the sniffers in the tail pipe, gas cap, and the dyno...
Here's the thing about the smog tests that I have never understood... They only did the newer cars, not the older ones... It's all the older ones that are the problem!

Sweet!!! is it still every other year in Cal? I had read somewhere that the secondary kitties were for some EU standard.
No smog testing in Indiana. We don't have smog, the wind blows it all to Ohio.

Sorry Ohio...lolNot even a gas cap test. Tech says that is only for older cars now. The dyno test is not used due to the inability to 'turn off traction control.' Guess the steps for dyno mod is too complicated for some??? Either way, I really did not want to remove mods and install my 2nd cats back on.

Actually just the straight $50. He is too big (round) to get under to look at cats or lean into a hood. Originally Posted by JamE55
