So I installed a C&L Street kit with a Brenspeed Tune (XCal).
Performance-wise, it's great... no complaints.
5 days later though I realized my PA Emissions/Inspection testing was due by the end of July 08. I took it to my dealer and the car failed emissions. The tech asked if the battery had recently died, or been replaced. I told him no, and explained the work I had done regarding the CAI and Tune. They weren't overly concerned with the mods, but informed me that because of the short period of time between the re-flash and testing... the car had failed.
The report reads: "FAILED EMISSION. NOT OBD READY."
elsewhere on the report it reads much of the same: "CAR NOT READY FOR TEST."
The tech suggested I drive it a bit more and bring it back in, which I'm currently doing but time is running out. Has anybody had any experience with this? Will the OBD be OK after a few hundred more miles? I can't imagine it is going to make a big difference and it is a royal PITA to lose my car even just for a day to get this crap done.
I contacted Brenspeed via email with the same question, but hoped somebody here might be able to help as well. Thanks for your time.
