I will be moving to WA this summer, in the state where i live now we dont have any emissions test.
Do we have in WA?
How do you guys pass with downpipe/exhaust?
I want to buy a downpipe but I want to make sure I will be ok with the test or that I buy the correct one (catted).

Thanks in advance

Yes, unfortunately Washington state does have emission testing for cars made before 2009. I passed my emissions test with a Eurojet Catback exhaust a couple months ago. I checked with Eurojet to see what would be needed to pass the emissions test with the downpipe and they told me I should pass with an 02 sensor spacer and the catalytic converter.
 
Fwiw the o2 sensor spacer will fail you on visual if anybody bothers to look for it. It's also technically tampering with an emissions control device which is against the law.

Just so you know.

Yeah, I've never registered anything in Washington, but i think in Utah they are supposed to look. And rarely do.
