Okay so this is for some of you fellow Illinois brethren on here... With the mods on your trucks did it pass the Illinois emissions? Do they just do the OBD-II scan with the computer and thats it? Or do the stick the sniffer up the tailpipe and on the gas cap?

thanks for the info

no check engine light = pass. I forgot which year they stop the sniffer in. My brother drove his cobra there will full exhaust, long tubes, no cats, no egr, and 100 octane. Stunk up the whole place and he passed lol

lol sweet! yeah, my brother had a 86 f-150 with the straight 6 300ci engine in it, he *built* that sucker, had like 300hp, 450 tq, fuel injected, split headers. BUT in missouri, still had to pass emissions. Even with like two bottles of heet poured in it, it would't pass. had to have a custom egr plate fabricated and installed under the 4 barrel carb, engine was never the same.

missouri - i love your beautiful hills and trees, and lakes, but not your emissions!:nonono:

There should only the OBDII check and that is it. Just make sure all codes have been cleared and your tuner has made the appropriate changes for mods if you need them.

They'll plug it in and you'll pass if theres no SES light on.
Lets just say, I pulled in for a test with my 2000 Mustang, untuned, with cams, LT's, no cats, dumps, and race gas.....I passed. You'll be fine. lol.
