Re: [DML] Re: Fails CALIF emission

[Jeff Phillips <rvparty@xxxxxxxxx>]

A Stove pipe should not affect your emissions at all since its
by-passed after the engine warms up.  The emission test should only be
performed whent he engine is hot, or else the Cat won't work properly
or at all and cause sky-high readings  Be sure to drive the car around
for 15 mins before hooking it up to the equipment.  This can be a
common technique to get people to fail and then give the shop an
excuse to do repair work.
