California Smog Check Official thread
Hello Everyone,
As our cars hitting the year five, smog check is here!
Please LIST your mods and smog check RESULTS.
I was informed on several occasions, that BORLA and JoeZ full cat-backs passed sniffer
with flying colors as ISF is a low emission vehicle.
With California Smog check law changing, anyone pulled off headers etc?

They usually just look at the PCM
Most states simply examine the power train control module to see if there are any codes. The states and I'm sure California is one of them cannot afford to hire an employee that would have any experience with even a couple of the cars they test.
Most have never seen an IS F, let alone knowing if it has two or four catalytic converters. They would never know what to look for in a visual examination unless we told them we'd changed something. Maybe one in ten examiners might have heard what a Borla exhaust system is but still could never identify one.
By the way I'm sure that our cars would pass emissions with no converters unless there was a shorted spark plug or fouled/plugged injectors.
