I think it just depends on the car and it's carb rating to depend on smog.

I've got the RB flash and re-a header; I really don't want to swap my header back out so I hope it passes as is. Swapping in the OE cat + catback is a chore enough.

You should be fine with both. Just get your stock cat on and exhaust.

what about this question will it pass smog if you have a cel for something not 02 sensor/exhaust related. My cel is for the pcm will they not let me pass?

and idk wtf is up with everyone rooting against germany they played some of the best football for most of the tournament. everyone thinks we are machine gun toting ***** and likes to root against us i guess

Rev, they should be able to pass it if the cel is not emissions/smog related (O2, etc). If they say it fails, ask why it did and what CEL caused it. If it's nothing related to emissions then I'd argue logic with them. It's the same as if your TPMS sensor is tripped, and you fail emissions because the TPMS CEL is thrown which would be plain dumb. I would call whomever you plan on going to for the testing and check with them just to be sure so you don't waste your time.

As for people thinking you're **** rooting for Germany, I'm pretty sure they just hate you because you wear scarves when it's warm out and therefore look gay like Germans........j/k While I don't care who won, I was expecting Germany to.

Im pretty sure its a state wide thing if you got a cel they wont pass you. It's part of the inspection. They wouldn't even touch mine when I had a CEL on my Z

I seriously doubt if my TPMS CEL was on, as in I used aftermarket rims that are not TPMS compatible, they wouldn't pass me. That's pure bullshit, there's no way to remove the cell without the AP just for running rims that don't take the TPMS. In the same aspect, if something completely unrelated to emissions had a CEL and they failed mine, I wouldn't accept that, I'd reason with them why it's not applicable.

they only care about the MIL/CEL light. you could have every other light on the dash so long as the MIL/CEL is off.
