Default Austin Texas 350Z owners!

Ok guys...so finally the day has come..I bought a built motor greddy twinned 350Z. It is supposed to ship this weekend or monday at the latest...
Here's the dilemma. Have you guys with built cars and straight pipes had any issues with getting the car EMMISIONS inspected? We all know it has to have a Texas Inspection before we can even get plates...my car will not even have plates and I will be ready the minute it hits the ground to get it inspected and registered...the inspection has me worried...
Tom


btw..when I figure out how to get a pic sized down enough to go in the thread..i'll post one! lol

I remember there use to be a place off of Oltorf and Pleasant Valley on the South East side that will pass you for a small fee no matter how illegal your emission may be.

Congratz on the new car! Check out http://www.czot.org/ for the Austin Z club. I live in San Antonio, but I am part of both clubs. Hope to meet you eventually!
