Continuing Emmissions Saga in NJ

Just got re-inspected after changing O2 sensor and failed again but numbers did improve. Last time I failed for HC and CO but passed for NOx. This time I passed both CO and NOx but still failed HC with reading going down from 279 to 207. Bought Magnaflow Cat, 2 1/2 inch dia., 13 inches long. Have to wait till pay day to install (What with Christmas for the kiddies and all) but I think I should have a real shot at it this time. I'm tellin ya, they don't mess around here in Jersey. I told the attendant that I'd bet a C Note (wink, wink) that I pass this time but nuthin doin. What happened to the good old days when everyone in New Jersey took bribes. So what do you think folks, should the new cat cut down my Hydrocarbons enough that I can pass? I hope so, as money can't buy u luv in the garden state.

Sincerely,

James
