the "visual test" is for them to be jackasses as far as im concerned. its so they can check the CARB approval numbers on the parts. see how it works is, aftermarket companys pay the state to CARB approve their product, then they jack the prices up because its considered smog legal. its a frickin scam to make money. this way, the state and the company both make profit.

they rip me off, i rip them off with a illegal smog check...and around we go
