Modified Camaro & Oregon
Hello All,
My wife and I are thinking about a move out west to Portland, and I'm debating if the camaro would be able to make the trip or if its better to sell her off. Its my understanding that in Portland and the surrounding area, emissions are part of the yearly inspection. However, the test is simply a plug in to the computer test. Thus, since I throw no codes, I shouldn't have an issue passing, is that correct? For inspections, will they look for anything in particular? Where I live in PA, its no emissions, just a visual inspection and the cats have to visually be there. Nothing else. How does oregon compare? Thanks!

I have a built 5th gen and didn't have a problem going through DEQ but I did have my Hi-flow cats on at the time.
You shouldn't have any problems unless your car is showing a code. If you move out, look me up. You may also want to check out Columbia River Camaro Club. A bunch of great guys and gals. |

The way I was reading the above links was that I had to pass both the plug and a sniffer. I'll pass the plug, but lol @ the sniffer (the car smells like cancer from behind).
