Florida Emissions Question

[mpullen66]

I am thinking about relocating to the Tampa/bradenton area. Do they do emission tesing? My 87 has headers, no air pump, and no cats.  There is no tesing in oklahoma

its a pdf but heres what it says
Florida Law prohibits the operation, sale, lease, or transfer of title of any automobile or light-duty truck
(1975 or newer, 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or less) that has been tampered with.  "Tampering"
means the dismantling, removal, or rendering ineffective of any air pollution control device or system
which has been installed on the vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer except to replace such device or
system with a device or system equivalent in design and function to the part that was originally installed
on the motor vehicle (316.2935, Florida Statutes).
As a motor vehicle dealer licensed to conduct business in the State of Florida, I hereby certify that the
following air pollution emission control devices and system of this vehicle, if installed by the vehicle
manufacturer or importer, have not been tampered with by me or by my agents, employees, or other
representatives.  I also hereby certify that I or persons under my supervision have inspected this motor
vehicle and, based on said inspection, have determined that the air pollution control devices and systems
listed below, if installed by the vehicle manufacturer or importer, are in place and appear properly
connected and undamaged as determined by visual observation.
This certification shall not be deemed or construed as a warranty that any air pollution control device or
system of the vehicle is in functional condition, nor does the execution or delivery of this certification
create by itself grounds for a cause of action between the parties to this transaction

Looking at the web site info Zieg85 gave they abolished smog inspection in 2000. Thats about when they did it here in Oklahoma. Here your not supposed to remove any equipment but there is no inspection to verify the equipment has not been removed......makes sense!


Thanks for the info

yeah that came strait from Floridas dmv website. but its kind of the same for maryland "historic" tags you cant legally do a suspension lift or touch emissions. but theres no inspection for it. and as long as you dont get carried away they dont really care
