Just to add... I live in one of the crappy counties in florida that has emissions
testing. After I have done some minor mods to my truck it will not even register
and emmissions from the exhaust. At least what the state test for. They checked
it twice then made me move to another machine to verify. I used to get some #'s
(nothing out of range) before but now I can't get anything. They can't say that
i'm polluting.
