Nagkalat na parang kabute ang mga emission testing centers. Pumili ka ng center na bagong bukas para accurate ang measurements. Yung mga naunang shops hindi well maintained and calibrated ang emission testers.

Pag sumabit ka sa unang testing, subukan mo sa ibang center para makakuha ng second ratings kung tama.

halos lahat naman ng emissions testing centers accredited ng LTO e. usually, sa paligid ng LTO office, jan madaming emissions testing. P300 ang cost ng emissions test.

btw, kanina, nag paregister ako, hindi man lang hinanap ung emergency marker a, ung triangle thingy.

You mean the Early Warning Device. Matagal na pina stop yung raket nila dun. Aayusin daw muna yung anumalya nila.

guys, m new here. papasa kya sa emissions testing yung kotse mo pag modified na ang I/H/E plus tanggal na ang catalytic converter? Year 2000 model ng kotse. tnx

most likely tumaas lang ang emissions rating mo pero not up to the point na bumagsak ka.
siguraduhin mo lang na naka tune-up ang oto mo bago ka magpa-testing

tnx for the info... actually d ko pa nagagawa yung exaust part ng I/H/E. balak ko lang kce i disregard na yung catalytic pag ginawa ko na sya. just had to make sure my car can still be streetable.

mga 5 to 15 mins siguro. me ilalagay lang sa exhaust mo tapos hayaang mag-idle yung kotse mo w/ AC, radio, plus other electronics turned OFF. Antay mo lang yung reading from the machine tapos tapos na! 300 PhP down the drain! hehe

different model years have different emmission test passing marks. mas mahigpit ang passing mark for newer models than older cars. be prepared to put back the cat since post-1998 models requirements have low NOx readings. the cat is for reducing NOx.

iba din syempre for diesels and gasoline engines.

suggestion lang, ask your dealer if they have a suggested emmission testing center. usually they will have at their main service centers. if ever bumagsak sa emmission test ang car mo then they will know what best to do to make it pass. also, it's best to stick to one emmission testing center year after year. pag suki ka na nila then they are less likely to suggest exhorbitant repairs to make your car pass the test.
