emissions
I need some advice! I live in spokane, have everything emissions tested. Problem is, I have a 1984 f-150 with a beautiful new flowpro exhaust system. minus the cat..... it came from a non-emission county. my truck is right on the borderline of the 25 year emission kick. Word from my muffler sponsor is $400 for a cat. I have the option to get the $150 waiver by doing other misc. work instead.
Would that be the route to go? any opinions?

Trying to pass emmisions in Cali is the main reason I thought it was easier to put a new motor in the year before last...Part of the testing even includes your gas cap!...Needless to say, I bought one of them to be on the safe side.
There was a guy getting tested before I did...Brand new truck bought in Oregon, with the dealer plates still on the thing...Normally a new vehicle is not tested, but only if bought in CA...Talking about a mad SOB...His truck failed the emissions, and he could not get it registered.
To get exempt status involves jumping through some real hoops...Not only do you have to prove that the cost is prohibative, but you have to request a hearing for approval...Many just drive illegally or get another vehicle.
