Passed. I did the drive cycle at 230am last night, it was kinda fun in a Zen way.

EVAP never became ready, even after three bouts of idling. Perhaps, the tank starting out at 1/4 was not enough. The less official more paranoid versions say you need between 1/4 to 3/4's.

EGR reset only about 20 miles from home, and again going above and beyond the official to do. I decelerated (a second time) from about 50 only downshifting 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 (rev-matched) and hit the brakes only at about 3mph and that's either what EGR needed or it was happenstance.

Happy that NJ lets you pass with one Incomplete.

Interestingly, the stock car sounded different, idled a bit worse but did not feel appreciably slower than my "tune". I guess it's a mild one. Perhaps when I put it back on it'll be more noticeable. I was also driving beyond granny to achieve the cycle.
