Let's say I live in an area that requires an emissions test. Let's also say that I have the pair system removed, would I be able to pass the emotions inspection?

Doubtful. If its a 4 stroke though, you might have a slim chance. I suggest finding some pair parts though and installing them, you ought to be alright. I may be able to dig up my old pair bits for you since i am not finding pair bits for sale online.

Here is my . I doubt they are going to sniff(test) the exhaust. I think they are more interested to see if the emission equipment is installed. If they do sniff test the exhaust, there are several ways to make sure you pass. Example: Here in CT when it comes to car emission testing, 1996 and above, they just connect their test machine to the ODB2 port and verify that all emission related component are working properly and there are no stored codes related to emissions equipment faults. 5 mins and 20 bucks later you are done. If you go in with your check engine light, they don't waste the time driving into the garage to test. I owned an older(ODB1)Ford Ranger with a V6 that refused to pass the sniff test and everything emission related was in working order. Every time I had to get it tested, there was a plug I had to pull that removed the electronic advance and then I set the timing to 0° and reconnect the plug. The truck had almost no power and ran hot, but it passed every time with flying colors. I had a coat hanger wire as a pointer and 2 marks(one mark was for normal the other was for test), on the distributor cap so I didn't have to break out the timing light and I would make the change in a near by parking lot before and after testing.

Install a PAIR head and reconnect everything. The PAIR head and emissions stuff won't hurt anything except for that tiny little Cat converter that can plug easy. You may need to install your old exhaust or buy a new exhaust with a new converter.

We dont have emissions testing here anymore, but if you failed you could come back and try again. Are there any penalties for failing in your state? I would just try to pass as is. They used to sell these little bottles of magic in the auto parts stores to "help" your car pass emissions. For 10 bucks its worth a shot.
