Ultimate way to beat emissions tests?

Have an 8 cylinder engine but only have 4 cylinders fire... While I know this idea isn't new, what IS new is that you'd adjust the valve timing on the "unused" cylinders so that it sucks in air and then exhausts it instead of sucking in, compressing, igniting, exhausting.

Why would this cheat emissions? Because emissions are on a PPM basis and with more exhaust volume henceforth less "crap" per million parts.. Also I'd imagine this *might improve the efficiency of the catalytic converter though I have not confirmed this.. I am aware of some polluting vehicles being outfitted with air injection (like the California Lexus LS400) but I think this would bring it to a whole new level...
