ok heres where i stand. my DD needs to get calified in order to be registered in cali. it has a a intake, headers and exhaust on it. it does have a cat but it is a race cat and not as big as stock.
the intake is CARB certified but the headers, cat and exhaust are not. it may make acceptable smog numbers but i dont know for sure due to the significantly smaller cat.
i understand the letter of the law states that i can not have these parts on the car weather or not i can pass decent smog numbers.
the car is not loud, dosnt have a turbo, no nitrous, but cali hates it.
*is there anyplace i can take it where they will overlook the obvious modifications and give me a shot at smogging?
*is there anyplace that will just pass me given that the car is mildly modified and still actually has a cat? i know these places exist but you gotta know someone right? it would be worth some good money to me seeing as i do not have some of the stock parts and would have to buy them, and the headers took me four 5 hour days to install.
if anyone has suggestions that may be out of lines of this forum, please pm me.
