The old girl is getting some plumbing.

Just take a soda can, cut it in half, and add some hose clamps.

I’ve actually seen that.

I still need to take the Cougar in to get the crappy weld job fixed that the PO cobbled together. Glad you’re getting yours taken care of. Mine should get done soon.

The yellow lights are growing on me. I apologize for my dissenting opinion.

We did this when I worked in a shop in PA to get old hunks of shit to pass inspection... I assume that wouldn’t fly in CA.

If it’s after the converters it’s fine in terms of the visual inspection, but if it leaks I usually can’t get a good exhaust sample so I have to tell them to fix it. But that’s only on cars 99 and older; we don’t do a sniff test 2000 and up anymore unless it’s over 14k pounds.

I’m surprised they sniff test anything past 95 at all. The parts of Texas and the one county in NM that does emissions tests just plug in anything 96 or newer and it scans for set codes and not more than 1 or 2 (depending on year) unset I/M readiness indicators. There is also a visual check and the gas cap test.

I wish we still did sniff tests on everything because the OBDII protocols are complete bullshit. And the readiness monitors are the biggest pains in the ass known to man and there is no set criteria of how to set them. Most of the time we’re just guessing or using Google. Mercedes for example doesn’t even publish the data on drive cycles.
