I have another e-test coming this August. I'll tell you how it goes. (SVT header & RT cat)
When I tested 2 years ago I booked an appointment with a garage up the street from where I worked. Half an hour before my appointment a took it for a nice boot to get everything nice and hot. They put the car on the e-test dyno right away and it passed on the first try.
Getting the cat hot makes a difference. I know that when I first start my car on a cold morning that the exhaust odor is not the most enviromently friendly. Even moreso without a cat. (I briefly ran an ORP while getting a crack in my cat fixed and phewy... it smelled and sounded like a 60s muscle car.)
