Passing emissions

So. I live in a state that isn't California but doesn't quite understand that there are modern vehicles that spit fire and brimstone. Joy. I have a BHR Cat on my car, new plugs, wires, fresh oil in the week, and other things. It's ignition system is as healthy as it can possibly get, but I failed emissions, just barely. I get the chance to do a free retest, and I really can't work on anything else because car is lowered and I have no lift access for at least a day after my temp tags expire. I've also noticed an extreme lack of 8's and any of the other rotary bretheren here as well, and only in the past two months have I seen more than 1 8 and more than 1 7 in the same space or square mile radii. There may be more, but I just don't see them. Does anyone else have any tips or tricks for testing? Something they found worked better than something else? A stock cat isn't really an option, but if I fail again I may be able to argue for a waiver. May. Because Colorado has enough problems. I mean, I'm not using the exhaust fumes to suffocate weed hobos.

CG, I think your only option is a stock cat, if you were closer to me I would lend you mine for the test. Hope you find a solution.
