Just got a letter from MNAO indicating that Mazda is conducting an Exhaust Emissions Testing Program in my area. They are interested in possibly having my car as a test candidate.

The letter goes on to state that a 3rd party - KTL Automotive will be performing the testing. If my car is chosen, they will compensate me with a current model Mazda (to be delivered to me) along with$150.00, a wash, vacuum, and full tank of fuel. The testing is performed indoors on a dyno under 'normal' driving conditions. The location of the test is in Allen Park, MI which is about a 45 minute drive from me (probably around 35 miles). What they don't tell me is how long they will have the car.

Anyone familiar with this? Also, any opinions as to having this done.....I'm a bit reluctant as my 8 is garage kept year round (never seen rain) with only 4600 miles. But $150 is appealing and the car is not a daily driver.

I may be excluded anyways once they find out I have a Magnaflow cat-back.

Thanks
