Emissions in DC area?

I may possibly be moving to the DC area and was wondering what you guys have for emission testing up there. I have an 02 Z06 with an A@A P1sc, 224/228 114 cam, Suppermaxx catted LT's. Do you guys see any problems with me passing? Thanks.

In maryland they give you a waiver because the cars are to low to go over the rollers.

In VA, you should be good to go with those mods (don't quote me.) As far as I know, VA now only does OBDII testing. But here is some info:

http://www.deq.state.va.us/mobile/mobfaq.html

http://www.deq.state.va.us/mobile/mobobd.html

"...Effective July 1, 2005, the new OBDII inspection procedure became the official inspection process for most 1996 and newer motor vehicles.."

Which vehicles require an emissions inspection?

The following vehicles require a Virginia Emissions Inspection PASS or WAIVER before DMV can complete the registration process:
Gasoline-powered passenger or property carrying vehicles with a model year that is less than 25 model years old before January 1 of the current calendar year and with a manufacturer's designated gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less which are registered in the following localities:
Counties of: Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, and Stafford
Cities of: Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park

This is for Pray. I live in the Charlotte,nc area & have a c-6 I'm planning to do a maggie on with either the corsa sport exhaust or long tube headers.( I don't want to do both headers & exhaust as they are a little too loud for my taste since I had both on my C-5). Question I have is if I do just the headers with the high flow cats, will I have a problem passing emissions in North Carolina. Thanks for any info in advance.

In my county I don't have emissions. Just the OBD II scan. They seemt to just scan for codes. I don't even think they put my car on the lift last time. But it was bone stock then as well. I know Raleigh has emission testing though. I would assume Charolette would as well. I really am not sure man. Sorry.

you should be fine. I heard that a Supercharger like the P1SC is emission legal everywhere. Then, you cam is not too big either, I think you shouldbe fine, right?
