UGHHHHH so I failed smog yesterday TWICE. Thought I could go on s spirited run to sneak by the 2nd try but no dice. Car is running evo CAI, fabspeed mufflers, fabspeed high flow cats and a revo state 2 tune.

car failed by 2 points on the 25mph test.

suggestions?

TIA

If just 2 points, I wonder if that bottle of Pass-Smog that I see at PepBoys would do the trick?

If in California, I'm surprised you even passed on visual unless the CAI and muffler/cats all have CARB stickers.

i actaully had to get a smog a few months back, i just removed my Fabspeed X-pipe (it can be done without removing the rear bumper or exhaust) .


I am running PSE though, I'm hoping you'll pass with the Fabspeed mufflers alone.

Is insurance lower in Cali compared to the rest of the US after they put you through these freakin tree-huggin' tests?
