Sucks but you should have asked around better. I'm sure there's plenty of shops that wouldn't care you just have to find the right one. If my car wasn't at the paint shop I'd let you use my stock midpipe for the day. As for the JoeZ pipe, all you needed to do was slap an F-Sport carb sticker on the air box and it would work, many have done this.

UPDATE 2
I called Megab Racing and asked about the Mid pipe having smog issues and apparently they are not CA smog legal. Or any of their parts for that matter...
I really wish I would have known this before hand. I thought the reason the Megan was a better choice over Invidia was because it kept its secondary cats. But since its still not Smog legal in CA ik starting to think I should have just saved my money and went for Invidia
Although I will admit I love my sound. The midpipe gives a very nice deep sophisticated sound but damn it I just wish I would have gone back for my stock Mid when I had the chance at the shop I left it at.
Now im stuck facing the consequences for my stupid actions. Im so pissed off at myself right now! Especially since im in the middle of finally buying my wheels

Either way, you would've still had the same issue with Invidia pipes not passing either. Best of luck to you regardles..

Yeah that definitely set me back.. But yeah I had the smog shop (whom is also a muffler shop) re install the Megan right after it passed. I love the Megan too much to not have it on at this point lol.
