wah wah wah looses power BULL

the real backpressure comes from the muffler. and i happen to like the sound.

anyhow, i couldnt get it all with a big metal pole so i ended up banging the outside with a rubber mallet to break it all apart. haven't hooked out the stupid wire thingies yet. i'm going back to stock anyhow, as its going back to being a street car.

Both my car and my mom's van failed GA emissions due to bad gas cap gaskets.

Ozone problems in ATL area. Really bad ozone problems.

NY's had testing for years, right? CO was the problem IIRC.

When did emissions testing go away in Metro Atlanta? I lived in Little 5 Points for 4 1/2 years and had to get both my Taurus and my F150 checked.

I assume you mean the O2 sensor. The car will run without it.

I don't know. But my 02 sensor, for lack of a more detailed explanation, fell out on my way to autocross last sunday. Car ran fine, but annoyingly loud.

It didn't.

From the DMV website:
"For the 2004 registration year, all 1980-2001 model year gasoline powered cars and light trucks (up to 8,500 lbs gross vehicle weight rating) registered in the following counties require an emission inspection: Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, and Rockdale."

My 951 would not pass NOX with a gutted cat... passed with extremly low emissions with the cat.

I think Campeck has another convertot to put on when the time comes.

Campeck, with no O2 sensor, you had a fairly large hole in the exhaust. No wonder it was loud. Sounds like it wasn't connected anyway, so it probably wasn't working. I don't think you need an O2 sensor or a convertor for the car to start. Must be something else.
