i went through 3 shops in order to get my smog. first shop took 15 mins flipping through a book to see if my DC header was legal, even with theCARB # stamped on the header itself. he even went as far to say i could have welded it on myself. i left that shop.

second shop, popped my hood and said NO. i didnt bother to argue.

3rd shop, guess was in need for business...i told him i had a header with the carb sticker. he said ok. i dont think he even looked at it.

my car passed fine. visual is a bitch with some places.
