    Default It's that time of the year again.

    I need to smog my car sometime in this month. I was wondering if any of you guys know of a good place to smog or even better, any hook ups. My car is pretty much stock, only thing is the HKS Carbon ti and the ebay test pipe. Would I be okay just putting the catylyctic back on and leave the exhaust? or should I just go back to fully stock?

    Any input would be nice

    You should be able to pass smog, as long as you put your stock cat, I am pretty close to stock, as well and I was even able to pass smog with a HFC. The only thing is where you are actually taking your car in which you may fail the visual inspection. I was fortunate that they didn't care too much what my engine bay looked like,(pretty stock)

    Just a regular smog station, I kinda knew the guy so he didn't give me much shit about the other thingys floating around, but.... according to your mod list Im pretty sure your engine bay is pretty stock looking and as long as you have your C.A.R.B sticker on the intake you should be just fine, although I would suggest you to get your smog asap, since they are becoming alittle more of pain in the butt now on days and rules are getting more stricked.

    I forgot to mentioned, fortunately my smog wasn't a TEST ONLY, this year.
