Howdy!

I'm moving to the Denver area in a month for my new job. I'm coming from Texas where diesel emissions are merely an afterthought. I have an Spartan tuned 6.4 with DPF and cat removed. EGR is still on it.

How do I go about getting an inspection/registration in CO with the straight pipe on it? Is it possible? Do I need to put all the stock junk on for all the paperwork, then remove it all again? It's possible but a PITA (to me at least!).

Don't mean to beat a dead horse around here, but I don't want to be driving around with Texas tags for a year!

Thanks in advance for any advice!

EDIT: Looks like just an opacity test with the exhaust? Luckily the twin turbos on my 6.4 don't let much smoke out unless I really romp on it, and even then it's nothing too crazy.

also a visual insp for all required emisions equipment...so yep swap time every time. Centennial State Powerstrokes - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum if you ask here some of the denevr guys and help out more with mod friendly dyno/emisions places, as the one in Colorado Springs sucks.

You will need to have a cat on to even think about passing. Do you still have the stock one?

how can i get away with doing a EGR delete in denver

Weld the EGR cooler up and leave the EGR valve in.

Just curious, does CO. charge a "usage Tax" like KY??? You basically pay what your current value is on your Truck every year when registration is due. Curious if CO. is the same?

for heavy gvw (12,000-16,000) not requiring gvw plates then yea.
