We do emissions check. Either they do a little dyno thing with the exhaust sniffer...or the plug in and pull codes off the engine.

There are many ways around this...

I don't think IL has OBD1 emissions testing anymore, someone correct me if I am wrong.

Everything pre-96 (OBDII) is exempt from emission testing.
