CT has started their emissions program again, and you will be tested at some point.
Now, if you're lucky, they'll sniff the pipe, which will not be a problem.
If you are unlucky, they will plug in your truck and read the fault codes. Any fault code, regardless of reason or actual engine emissions will be a fail. You will not be able to renew your registration until you pass emissions, but you won't be able to drive to emissions testing to test- so they have you by the balls...
I'm going through this now with my BMW. It emits less than a 2.8 liter (but it's a 3.2 liter) yet fails emissions because of the traction control module (which has nothing to do with emissions, but causes a check engine light) and I cannot get a passing test...
Good luck!
