Default 86GT Won't pass emissions

Ok guys, I've been to inspection 4 times in 2 months and my car still won't pass. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. I DO have BBK hi-flow cats which is what I am thinking is making it fail. I have done a full tune up from plugs to O2 sensors and still fail. Did anyone else have this problem? Or does anyone know where I can buy a sticker. The car was due for inspection in October.....of 2009

Woah, October 2009?

I'm sorry, I don't have any solution for you, and I haven't found anywhere I can buy a sticker either.

I have got to ask, have you been stopped for the lack of, or failed inspection yet?

You can have another set of universal cats welded in then you'll pass

High amount of gases coming out of tailpipe... I am just going to put in another set of cats and hopefully that works. I have tried everything else so far. It failed for too much bad gas coming out of exhaust so the extra cats should take care of it.

Or you could just go to Patterson any shop down there will stick a set of cats on the end of your tail pipes and try and get you to pass. Or they will stick the sniffer in another car

That still doesn't help me, is there too much CO, NOX? I need to know which of the 5 gases you are having problems with and I can probably save you from spending 400 bucks on a set of cats. I passed emissions with one set of high flows at the state inspection in randolph
