    cams and emissions

    I have been looking into cams, but I am concerned about passing emissions. Can anyone tell me if this will be an issue? If so I may not even attempt it and go another route.

    You should not have a problem with emissions. you will still be running your cats and your car is still new so i dont believe they would put the sniffer in the tailpipe. As long as all your monitors are being run and your check engine light is not on, you shouldnt have a problem passing emissions.

    How long till I gotta get my 07 tested?

    I have long tubes (with cats) and cams and am not optimistic about my odds with a sniffer. I don't have a Check Engine Light but my traction control and low tire pressure light are always on. Do they care about those, too.

    I think you have 5 years before you have to get yours tested.
