Had to put the 1994 Cobra through emissions again today. Had to pull the spout to get it to pass because it was over the NOx limit. I still do not understand why this essentially stock Cobra has so much trouble passing emissions.

Yeah, it was when I was in High school, so late 90s. You would sit in an emissions line for 2 hours waiting for your turn. By the time you got to the emissions test your car was overheating and loaded up, you couldn't pass.

I remember back around 96 when I first started driving that Jacksonville had still had emissions checks but St. Johns county didn't have them so I was good. I can see why California does it because of all the pollution from being heavily populated, but FL isn't that bad..yet!
Yeah, I started driving in 96' also. It was only in the metro areas. I was in Ft. Lauderdale, so.

Yeah, down there there is no safety inspection, only emissions. The first 3 years I lived here I was officially a FL resident, and didn't have to deal with all that crap.

How hard is it to pass Emissions anyway? I don't think mine would stand a chance at all with no smog and a fairly stout aftermarket cam. Ive been throwing around the idea of moving out west in a few years but the area I want to go to requires emissions but I also read that if you can get collectable car insurance you are exempt.
I custom made an H-pipe with 2 big Magnaflow cats. That's the only emission control device I run on the car when I go through emissions; No EGR, no smog pump. I don't put anything in the tank, and I make no adjustments to the fuel pressure or timing, nor do I pull the spout. It aces emissions every time. Last time it went through I did 10/182 on the HC, and 0% on the CO. It has more to do with your tune than anything.
I have collector car insurance, and I am not exempt. I think it has to do more with the age of the car than anything else. Here in GA, you are exempt when the car gets to be 25 years old. I can mail you my cat pipe in 2020.

As much as I like the new 5.0's they are expensive. I'll take my old pushrod thats paid for, plus I like the styling better anyway. Cobra bumper with an R hood and wide tires =

Couldn't let this thread slip to the second page.
This week I felt like I had a regular job for a little bit. I had to do my online Pilot instructor refresher course, which is 800 minutes of surfing the internet while the program thinks I'm studying the material. That's done for 2 years, back to waking up to an alarm clock at 3:45am.
