California smog question
I need to smog my coupe and got a few questions maybe some of you guys have dealt with.
I currently have Injen CAI, UR crank pulley, megan test pipes, and Injen ses exhaust. I know i need to throw the stock cats back on to pass, but what about the visual, what do i need to change to pass. And do smog places actualy do a visual inspection, like do they care if you have an aftermarket exhaust, even if you pass?
I need to know ASAP so i can smog tomrrow, thanks guys

Test pipes needs to come out.
how long have you driven with the test pipes?
u may consider putting the stock exhaust back, only because, without the cats, alot of HC and CO may be floating in your exhaust pipes. This will cause higher emission readings.
if you werent running test pipes, it would be ok to smog with it. exhaust doesnt matter for smog, just everything before the cat

This PDF should help http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/ftp/pdff...smog_check.pdf
03+ shouldn't need a smog for the first 6 years, as well as the vehicle title transfers within the first 4 years are exempt as well.
Doesn't mean you can't be sent to the referee for inspection though.
