Ontario Drive Clean emissions test problems?

Have any Max drivers from Ontario had any problems getting their Max to pass the Ontario Drive Clean emissions tests? If so, what things did you have to fix? Or are there any recommendations on how to get the car to pass?
Thanks

I took mine about 3 weeks ago.
I have a Frankencar Intake and a Budget Y-Pipe and I passed no problem.

some tips:
1) Make sure the car is WARM when you take it in. If they don't test
the car for a few hours, make sure they warm it up nice.
2) You should ALWAYS use 91+ octane.
3) Make sure you go to a mechanic you can trust -- or, tell the
mechanic that if your car fails, you certainly will NOT have
the repairs handled there.

Hope this helps!

You might want to do an oil change beforehand if your oil has been in the engine for a few K.

Off-topic: Wow! Those are amazing underwater shots! One note though - You should fix your homepage link from the sidebar. It concatenates your geocities site with the maxima.org one.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words about the underwater pics.
I tried to change the profile to reflect your suggestion but the website appears correct as it is typed into the appropriate spot in the profile. How do I prevent it from concatenating?
Thanks

I did mine just after Flo_Boy. Follow his suggestions and you'll be fine

I know Stygian already complimented on those shots, but nice pics!
