AZ emission laws

[SloSVO]

Hello all, I was curious on what the emission laws are in AZ.. At first i thought they were more lax than ca. but It seems like the tests are performed by the state.. In Ca. they are run by private parties and lets to having one eyed closed during the test..

How does a KB 04 cobra pass the smog test over there? whats the prcedure?

And what a bout a Carb'd 85 Mustang?

thanks..

the 04 will go up against an obd2 test. as long as there are no codes stored in the computer, and all the readiness monitors are set, you will pass.

the 85 will go against the tailpipe sniffer on the dyno. they will fail you for .01 over, they are very stingy

so the obd2 cars.. there is no visual test? you can roll in the twin turbos on a 03 cobra and as long as it passes the obd2 test your golden?

I'm better off keeping the 85 registered here then..

mine went through no probs, and it doesnt even have cats on it, and modified vacuum line around the egr valve

oh shitz.. that sweet.. i plan on turboing my 05.. that why I asked..

But the 85 has no cats, with a holley 650 and no egr.. i think that one is better off being Ca registered..

some of the laws have changed..... so if your fox is a collectors car you may be able to by pass emissions.

A better question to ask is where in AZ are you registering it? Certain county's don't have emissions facilities and do not require a vehicle to pass emissions.

oooo! forgot about that!

ASUSMC has a point. if your not in maricopa or pinal county, you don't even have to smog it. as for the new car, they can do visuals, but its not likely. i just went through with my 03 cobra, and it has the egr deleted. they just plugged her in, checked for no codes, then rolled me forward and checked the gas cap and i was done! really a waste of time imo, but what can you do. the 85, yeah, that might be some fun to pass here....

The past two vehicles I have taken thru emissions (2000 GT and 2003 Cobra) have not had cats. The GT was supercharged, the Cobra obviously supercharged, both were relatively loud at idle. Neither time did they get on the floor to check and see the cats were there. Just plugged em, started, unplugged and I paid my money.
