I'm in need of some desperate help here, with regards to emmisions for SVA test, which is next tuesday at 8am.

The car is a wrx sti type R 1997.

Basically, it came over from Japan with no cats in the exhaust system at all, and the guy that has been fixing my cars for years (very trustworthy) nearly pissed himself laughing, when he saw how high my emmisions were.

So, I ordered standard exhaust with cat, but the emmisions didn't change one bit, so, I ordered a standard downpipe, also with a cat and a new lambada sensor (just in case other was faulty) but he told me today that it doesn't fit.

Basically, i've found out that I have a bigger turbo (always wondered how it did nearly 80mph in 2nd...lol) and the downpipe wont fit.

Soooooo, how am I gonna get the emmisions low enough for the SVA test??

Anyone got any tips or tricks??
One guy from certain Subaru Breakers said to Dissconnect one of the hoses on the intake manifold and it will run like a "bag of sh*t" for SVA and pass emmisions with flying colours ;0)

Is this true?

ANY help at all, or tip and tricks etc on how I can get the emmisions down will be VERY very much apprciated

cheers,
