[urq] Dang ol' noisy car - suggestions?

[urquattro at comcast.net]

The plug lead thing is a nice idea; unfortunately, you can't monkey with the car during the test sequence and I think you have to pass all three tests (first 2 are emissions) in the same session on the computer to OK a "pass'...I like the removable sound restrictors a lot. I'd rather not have to drill holes in my exhaust tips, but I suppose if I -had- to to install somethimg like that it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Thanks for the tip (no pun intended)!

PS-Little funny for the EFI guys out there...watch out for emissions inspectors hooking their timing sensors to your fuel injector wires...gave some really interesting "RPM" readings for a minute there...
