smog test place

i received a letter from dmv that i need to get the smog test done. This is my first time dealing with smog test.
Where are some "safe" places i can get the smog test done? because how low my car is, i prefer a place w in-ground rack or something when they have to look under the car. If not, i can just remove the bumper.

Also, Is it possible that custom 3" single exhaust with a resonator can pass the smog?
thanks

If you have the OEM cats on then you will pass the sniffer test. A cat-back setup has no effect on emissions.

I know a lot of good places up where I live in San Gabriel. But I'm a good 45 minute drive away from Irvine.

Reading Marcus' link he just sent made me realize out in Cali you guys have a lot of strict rules on smog. Kind of sucks. I hope it never gets like that in NYC, I would fail all the time.

Other than that Goodluck on finding a place for your car.
