    just to update this thread, with the new emission systems you wont need to remove the egr before the test as there is no carbon test ( sensor in the tail pipe test.) Just take your AP, un tune fully, Follow the drive clean drive cycle wich can be found on the ministry of trans. web site, after two days of driving around with an un tuned car, get your emissions test done and it should pass.

    We'll see when the first person gets it done... only time will tell what the new test will do. We need someone to experience it and post their results unfortunately. Everything we say is just speculation until that time lol

    well, this is what one of my friends did with his k-tuned civic, i know its not the same as a mazda but the ecu is still tuned, untuned, drive cycle, it passed. im debating on testing it out soon but i dont wanna drive for 1-2 days un tuned, car will run like ass. we need someone with an ap and light mods to test it out.

    really? so the guys that have so much shit done to their motor have to go back to stock tune? the car will run like ass..lol. especially with upgraded everything. so i'm just supposed to spend 18hrs putting my car back to stock just to spend 5 mins doing an emission test?

    no no, you just tune your car to the stock ecu file, leave your aftermarket stuff on, as long as the ecu has the factory file on it, go through the drive cycle (1-2 days) then go for the e test, it should be fine.

    -sway bars
    camber arms
    -LED interior lights

    -side skirts
    -front lip
    -rear lip
    -rear flares
    -vinyl wrapping
    -spoiler extension
    -tint.....and a whole bunch of other shit people don't care about.

    If the check engine light doesn't come back on... Maybe I'm missing something here - does it actually make any sense that you could run a big turbo with supporting mods and just flash a stock tune on it for a couple days and expect not to get a CEL at any point?

    you can't run all those mods without the right tune or you'll throw engine codes for sure

    I'm gonna hire a lawyer and get an accreditied professor to study the emissions of our modified cars to show that we run cleaner than a stock, figure if I get it in writing then sue the drive clean to show that they don't do fack all... If it's in writing it has to be true!(according to the government studies)

    The drive clean people have done this to us so why not throw it back in their face? After they implemented the system the air hasn't got any cleaner(more smog days, higher CO2)... they need to find a better way of keeping the air clean and I think it starts with cars being maintained properly to begin with.

    It really grinds my gears that a tuned car with mods could potentially be running cleaner/better than a stock car but because it has a modifed tune it can't pass? WTF is with that...It's like saying the manufacture did everything perfect the first time they engineered the car. And even if our cars ran a little dirtier... that might be the same as another vehicle but because it's not that car's standards they screw us???

    I am tired of these tree hugging idiots that think they are making a difference but when you measure their impact they haven't done squat... except waste our time and money... I'm all about being sustainable... I am just tired of the hippy BS being used as a business.

    Not a fan of the new etest. My mom's van has a problem in which the check engine light goes on and off periodically and it failed the first 2 times we tried. Then the light turned off and we got it etested at the chrysler dealer...and it passed ... but it was still a pain and if it hadnt passed we would have to spend some $$$ to fix the issue ( parts + diag fee) not to mention id have to wake up earlier on my day off to drop the van off to get it fixed....

    You know they no longer do a sniffer test for OBD2 cars right. The results are all now "READY" vs "NOT READY"
