not a rumor, we own a smog center, this is first hand information from the Government, guess what, it is federal, you will all have to deal with it, takes effect on or before January 1, 2010.....

RE: How do you pass emissions testing?
I do not have a link to information, in fact, I just did a search, I found nothing, our field rep from the bureau of automotive repiar is who told me about 2 weeks ago as he was admiring my newest Ultra Classic, he said, you know that you will have to remove the pipes the ecm software and the air cleaner don't you, I asked why? he said that by 2010 that there will be emissions testing for all motorcycles and light duty diesel vehicles... I said" you are crazy" he said" no, they are crazy, I just work for them" I said "Damn"

RE: How do you pass emissions testing?
Texas doesnt even do emissions testing statewide on cars now.
"Which vehicles are required to have the emissions test?
1. Vehicles registered in designated counties. Designated counties include:
Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Montgomery, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Travis, Williamson and El Paso counties."

Found out when I got the truck inspected in New Braunfels, TX that next year they were starting emissions testing on vehicles. If you have the stage 1 what has to be done to pass the test? Do you have to put your stock mufflers back with the original air box and remove the PCIII (in my case) or can you lean out your fuel controller and put your original air box on and leave the aftermarket mufflers? I think Dallas County is doing emissions testing. What do you guys do?
Thanks

You do realize this *IS* all for a good cause, right? Or is that whole breathing thing over rated?
