    Has anyone ever tested there emissions at home. I've just got a used 16L Detroit. I was hoping to test it's NOx level and see if I meet the standard for it's year. What equipment should I get? Where can I find it? and What am I looking for if I find things on Ebay?

    Unless you live in CA I doubt your state checks for nox. My state is a wannabe CA state and they don't check for it, only opacity at the exhaust outlet.

    Good Luck!

    Save yourself hundreds (thousands perhaps?) and just take it in to a shop.
