As the title says, I have a BOV and though I love the sound, I have to pass emissions and the sound would lead to an auto fail.
The car came from an area with no emissions so it also has the emissions system in place but all the tubing has been pulled and the manifold has been plugged, auto fail. The icing on the cake is the O2 housing w/ external dump which is also another auto fail as well as being ridiculously loud. Oh, I almost forget, I guess the sprinkles on top would be the 3 inch exhaust which I can't tell but might not have a high flow cat in there (I don't know how to tell ) if it doesn't, auto fail.
I've read allot on the forums, people talking about passing without emission systems, no cat, e85 blah blah blah but I don't even know where to start.
They never pop the hood so I'm not too concerned in the emission system if I can get away without it.
My plan is to run the car by these remote testing boxes on the side of the roads and I can check the results online. If I get two passing scores I can skip the dyno and just do the gas cap pressure test and the idle smog. But I'll have to replace the bov and remove the o2 dump because I can drive the car and not have it go stu-stu-stu-stu but I don't want to gamble with them. I'm sure if I fail once, it'll draw more attention to the setup.
I guess the first step would be to replace the O2 dump and figure out how to silence the BOV for the test. How can I go about doing the latter?
