FYI the intercooler is not legal in california.., and i was with shmoo when we went to get his car smoged and it was a bitch the first few places wouldn't even look at his car...

 

Yeah, not a fun experience. If I were to do it again after realizing how difficult is was even to get the Greddy kit to pass, I would have installed a much better kit and retained OBD2 for emissions. The guy that did the test did a very brief check under the hood, so I may have been able to get away with it.

 

if you're so bored, try using this

 

I got my "smog test" done for $60. It was really legit too, he was just lax on the visual inspection.

 

i'm suprised no one has sued, there has to be a jusge out there that would rule that if a vehicle performs emissions tasks within it's original spec. that a visual inspection is not warranted and is a violation of privacy. even though we all know why they do it (to stop excessive moding of cars)

 

I think you are on to something. :rick:
