Default emissions

I have heard numerous people talk about failing emissions, especially the NOX reading. From what I have heard, if you put a cleaner in your tank and run the car for an hour or so, change the oil and also put fuel tank cleaner, it will pass the emission.

If anyone knows anything about this, or has had a similar issue, with a successful end, please let me know.

Its much harder to pass a NoX emissions test if you have done the EGR mod. Some supra guys who've done it put in 3 bottles of that fuel cleaner and passed
