Cool

I don't know about there, but here emissions is measured in ppm or %. The more exhaust flow, the more emissions that would be acceptable. Otherwise a big *** 8.0L Dodge Viper would NEVER pass.

Displacement has nothing to do with the emissions factor.

As far as passing, it's hard on the car for a few miles, but dump a 2-3 bottles of "ISO-HEET" or isopropyl alcohol (fuel line deicer) into your tank at a nearby gas station. Drive a block to the emissions testing facility with very little gas in the tank and test your car. Then fill your tank back up on your way out after passing. Fill it again as soon as there is enough room to put some gas in. Take it easy on the car until you're sure all the alcohol has cycled throught the system.

Iso-alcohol doesn't make any emissions, burns super clean, it's just hard on your EFI systems and cylinder walls due to lack of lubrication. Just don't run it for very long like that and you'll be fine.
