No. Mufflers don't affect emissions.

That's what I thought. So it just looks "obvious" that you're up to something if you pull in for a test without them? Well, I guess I'll find out in a little less than 3 years!

Most places probably won't even care to be honest. As long as the car doesn't throw any codes you're good to go.

I figure, now that we're no-sniff, OBD and visual check now, I pull in sans codes, they look and see that I have cats and o2 sensors plugged in, and a sticker under the hood with the CARB # for the shorties, they wouldn't delve to deeply into it.

Actually it is a noise Db restriction of not more than 80db. Which with no mufflers you would most likely fail.

Yeah, Donnie was in Long Beach and they had a DB machine on the street, like the ones showing your speed and said he was at 92 and would get a ticket in the mail!

Doesn't sound right. Those roadside smog tests are supposed to be just data captures for how well smog is working. Not as a ticket/punishment/fine type of thing. I'd fight it if I were him...but hell, I fight everything! LoL

The 94dB reading is at 50% of redline measured at 1 meter from the rear of the car. At WOT I'm at 121dB.
