Emissions testing in GA
 
For those that live in Georgia and may not be 100% emissions compliant (deleted cats, etc)...how do you go about getting an emissions testing every year?

It varies from county to county. Some require it and some dont. In my county they give you 2 years without requiring an emissions test on a new car, so if you have a 2014 you are good til 2017.

If its something as simple as a cat delete, just put your stock cat in before you go get your emissions done, then swap it back out once you pass.

In Cobb County at least (haven't checked others) its two model years, so even though I bought mine in 5/2012, I don't have to get emissions done until 2016 registration.

Most of the state doesn't require emissions testing. It may be the only benefit to living in the Augusta area.

I'm wondering if I can just get a PO box in Augusta and not worry about it. One of my friends said that as long as the car isn't throwing any CEL codes they won't pick up on any mods

You have to register your car where you take your homestead exemption. You have to have no fault codes stored and the readiness tests have to be passed (I think they may allow 2 readiness tests not set). I looked into this when I was thinking of building a kit car, as GA has no exemptions for kit cars. They do look under the car for the catalysts, at least at the stations I've been to. I would say just put the cat on for the test.

Thanks for clarifying, that is what I was trying to say :thumbsup:.

This is the Southeast regional section bro, doubt many people in NY area check this forum much. Might wanna start a thread over in the Northeast section.
