Default longtubes + emissions testing = FML

well i'm kind of stuck here. i have my LT's all good to go. now i have to pass emissions testing here in chicago and i'm kind of boned. test just consists of plugging into the OBDII port and making sure everything is OK. well my O2 simm's are going strong but i have a few preoblems. my evap check monitor was 'not set' when i went to test, i have a feeling its just because i had like a tablespoon of gas in the tank and i know that the evap system doesnt test when its real low. but i did have a catalyst monitor 'not set' and a 'heated o2 not set'. now, i have changed my 2/1 O2 TWICE with brand new bosch one and it still keeps spitting the code up. i took my code reader and deleted that code (i think it was p0155?) and i figured it would be all good since you are legally allowed to have ONE monitor not set. but for some reason i had the 2 not set. you think an o2 simm would work for the upstream? and yes i know that is a horrible idea but it would only be temporary because i need to get this **** done or my liscence will be suspended. any ideas guys? i would really not enjoy riding my god damn 10 speed huffy to work


thanks again, ~Justin~

Man I'm glad I don't have to go through that sh*t in Ga. I have Long Tubes, but cut the cats back in about 18" further back, extended the O2 sensor wires and plugged them back in. Be three years in Sept. - no codes yet.
However, I understand in some states, just repositioning the cats is enough for a fail. NOW THAT SUCKS! No CEL, and you still fail!!!
