But there is still a federal emissions standard for new vehicles, which is what I've been referring to the whole time. Full Stop.

I live on the NYS border, so my easiest access to tailpipe emissions testing is in NYS. Full Stop.

I could care less about actual emissions laws, since they're based on BS and conjecture rather than actual performance of the vehicle. Full Stop.

Do you understand when it's in telegraph form?

At no point did I mention caring about NYS emissions laws. I know for a fact that I can get my vehicle tested in NYS using a tailpipe PPM emissions test at any time for a nominal fee, regardless of whether or not it's required legally.

In doing so, I've found that vehicles can be tested and pass US Federal Emissions standards' current revision for PPM counts WITHOUT the use of a catalytic converter.

What's so hard to understand?
