Colorado Emissions
Has anyone installed a tubo that has passed emissions? I am ready but have been unable to get an answer to the "will it pass emissions?" question. I was looking at the greddy.

Don't see them around much, huh?
I probably see about 1 RX8 a month.
I'm starting to think I might just be the "test rat" for this. Wonder if they would give me a discount to try . . ..

Vortarian, let us know what happens & your experience. I'm still a year away, but I'd be interested in how 'hard' it is to get an 8 through the test. Thanks!

Where the air is rare
I wouldn't sweat it too much. Thankfully Colorado ain't **** like California. Yet...
Passing emissions is mostly about testing the gas cap, visually verifying the existence of a catalytic converter, and sniffing the tailpipe for exhaust emissions. Before I got the 8, I had a Vortech supercharger in my 98 Mustang GT convertible. It always passed with flying colors.
I expect my GReddy-enhanced 8 to pass without much fuss, primarily because the engine is completely under computer supervision for anything short of pressing your right foot to the carpet.
Thankfully, I won't need to find out for another year.

Joemama,
If you're in the denver area, would you be willing to get an emissions check if I paid for it? I know a place that won't say anything if you were to fail . . .
I mainly want to know so I can figure out if I need to plan for further labor in an installation.

An easier approach would be to register and drive by one of those sniffer vans. Which I may do just for grins.
As I said before, I don't think it will be an issue. When I went thru for emission testing with my Mustang, it always passed with ease. And, I never got any grief over the modifications, other than "WHOA DUDE!! THAT ROCKS!!!" from all the techs that would surround the car when the hood went up.
