I figured I would have to pass emissions this year, but I lost my letter, so who knew. Sunday I cleared enough space in the garage to pull my car in out of the rain, and started swapping out my exhaust. Let me tell you, the PLM/Nameless knock-off long tube header is no easy removal. Got the stock header and front pipe installed without any leaks, Yay! Removed my Phantom SC and reinstalled my OEM intake, complete with sound tube. Loaded my original tune file, and away I go. Today I went online to try and print something saying I needed emissions before I just show up there out-of-the-blue. The DOL emissions page says to just start tab renewal to find out if I need emissions, if I do it won't let me finish. So, I went all the way through, paid for new tabs and no emissions. I still can't believe I don't need testing, so I went to the licensing center to find out if they will give me my prepaid tabs without requesting an emissions test slip. Nope. All they asked for was my ID and registration. I just changed out my intake and exhaust for nothing!

In WA you don't have to get an emissions test any more for any model 2009 and newer. I've never needed one for my 09 Corolla or 10 Prius. I found out when having my daughters 08 Yaris tested. They told me that when I went through. I don't need to have my 89 Supercharged MR2 tested anymore since it's over 25 years old now!
