how tough is it to pass emissions in Phoenix?

I just completed a move from texas to Phoenix, Az. So far it seems like a pretty cool place I see a lot more thirdgens driving around. One of my budddies told me I had to get an emissions test next time I register my car. Is the test here as tough as the one in cali or is this one a little easier to pass?

NOPE,
Phoenix is AS TOUGH as California.
Found out from a guy, who tried to get his MG to pass.
When ya get to town, ask around for a "friendly" smog station.
Good luck, it's a whole new ball game, from Texas.

Don't be so bummed.
These cars can really shine when operating correctly, as the factory made them be.
If ya wanna really cheat, do as I did, slip in a 3.4 long block and don't say a thing!
You win, all the way around!
