Moving to Syracuse, NY, Need info on Safety & Emissions for Registration Options

[ComaDave]

I'm moving to Syracuse, NY this summer for school and was wondering if anyone near there has some information on what the emissions and safety requirements are in the area.

I'm mostly concerned with visual inspection on the 3rd Gen 3SGTE and emissions requirements (no catalytic converter).

I'd also like to get in touch with other members in the area, I saw several in Rochester and a few others scattered around on the member map.

I grew up in Syracuse. NY has become really strict on emissions, but you should be exempt (I think) if you are pre 96. Otherwise, inspection is mainly safety items, tires, wipers, lights, horn, brakes etc...

What he said. Most places don't care and if you have to, drive to Rochester and I'll set you up with my guy. Also, make the Delaware water gap meet with Josh(jdcelica) and I. It's a ton of fun.

Most places around here don't even lift it if it's before 96. (unless it's obvious that the car is poorly maintained or the owner looks like they can be "had")

Thanks for the info. When is the Delaware water gap meet? I've been debating putting a high flow cat on the car when I replace my muffler. It sounds like a 3000lb bumble bee on the freeway, which gets annoying after a while, although full throttle sounds amazing. The other question is whether they would inspect the fuel cell, especially since it smells like gas. I'm going to go to the shop that built it to see if installing hard lines would take care of it (rubber fuel lines as of now).
