This test was for a EPA letter received in the mail and not a lab test.This was possible because presenting the car using complete Nizpro gear was acceptable because Nizpro had a car tested in the emission labs and can now supply paper work showing their kits will meet emission levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it pays to be good & try not to stand out too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
