[V8] Emissions again

[S_Matus]

Chris - 
 
I too have had to pay for emissions (2X) only to have them give me the same diagnosis.  I refused to be part of the Colorado extortion.  I intend to register in a different county w/o emission requirements.

Well I tried again to pass the stupid emissions teat here in CO, no go. Afterward I had an cat test and inspection as it was the second time. I was told that my cats are non functioning and the de-acceleration is also not working.  Soooo what cats should I get as I will most likely get all the exhaust button up (rattles and lost a hanger) and replace the loud ass mufflers with something a little more quiet? Stick with stock cats or go aftermarket, like some from a 5.0 Mustang (hear you can find those cheap)?

This is what I am told needs to be done to pass.
1.    New cats/exhaust
2.    Install stock injectors
3.    Install stock computer(not chipped)
4.    Fix the decel thingy


Good news is after I spend over 750.00 I can get an exempt pass with the lovely state of Colorado. I figure exhaust will be about half of that. :)
