way around emissions?

hey guys i'm kind of in a situation, i have a 2010 camaro ss the emission test is due on the 2nd of october. I already went once and go rejected. I have hi flow cats and longt tube kooks headers with borla atak. with no tune.

I had a check engine light come on because there was a random misfire and i cleared it and saw one of my spark plug wires was loose but there were 2 catalyst errors, and when i cleared it i guess not enough data was stored. All in all now i just have to pass emissions in Wisconsin we are privatized for emission testing with the computer being plugged into the obd port. I need to find a way so i can pass it. Can someone make a tune for me to download and install and pass? I have a diablosport Predator. Is there anyway i can pass emissions then?

All the help will be appreciated!!

Clear the codes then drive 80 - 100 miles under all conditions. Start, stop, city, cruise, full throttle, idle then go for an emissions check before turning the car off. The computer needs time/miles check/learn that all systems are ok. It then turns all it's "flags" off and should allow for an OK emissions check via the OBDII port. This is provided there are no new codes thrown. If a code causing error occurs it usually trips the CEL on the 2-3 restart. Hope this works.

With headers the car will run rich and have that gas smell without a real tune dyno recommended that engine light will always come on no matter how many times you clear the code yourself.

Without a scanner you can plug into the OBD port and check before you go back for emissions testing, this may or may not work. I have seen a complete drive cycle take several trips to meet the conditions and "complete"

You really need to get a tune since you have LT's and that will eliminate your catalyst problems.
