HFC pass SMOG test

So I just moved here and my car is currently being shipped here from Hawaii. In the meantime I decided to do some shopping. I was interested in HFC especially Fast Intentions because I've heard it may pass the smog test. Anyone here pass with those or know a shop where you could get a hook up. I don't feel like swapping out to my OEM cats every year to pass. I've seen a lot of G's in SD and most of them are slightly modified and I was wondering if there are any G clubs. I'm going to be working at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot so if you're close by then let me know so we can meet. Just text me 4252682432 if interested. Thanks!

In California, passing the SMOG test isn't the issue, it's the visual inspection.

I wouldn't mind paying a lil extra. For our safety inspections in Hawaii we just gave the locals a case of beer.

if you can delay until 2013. Then it'll be easier to pass. Starting 2013 you just need to pass the obd test. They don't do tail pipe testing after 2001 models. So long as you dont have a check engine light and you pass visual you'll pass.
