Hey there!
I recently purchased a ‘92 Camaro RS 305 from someone living out in the sticks. I live in Gilbert, AZ (suburban region in the east valley) and in order to get my car registered I’ll have to pass an emissions test. I’m originally from Texas, so I don’t know the procedure behind testing and what it’ll take to pass.

The P.O. did an EGR delete and got rid of the Cat since he didn’t have to worry about emissions. I’ve read that many people have put collector car insurance policy on their vehicles, however I don’t qualify since it’s my only car.

I intend on purchasing a cheap cat from Amazon ($30 is a steal imo) but I’d like to hear your opinions on how it’ll affect my performance/testing outcome.

Are there any workarounds or tricks I can do in order to easily pass and get the car registered? Any information is useful!

 

It's gonna be a challenge. Good luck...

 

Get the car completely up to max temp before you go in.

 

A little late but don't go cheap on the cat especially if the egr was deleted. Before I went collector insurance I would put on a cat rated for trucks (vehicles weighing more than 7k pounds) and that always worked. But as the other has said make sure it is warm before testing.
