Too bad all you guys with smog issues don't live here..We have a very tuner friendly Smog place here and I know a guy who will get them to pass no matter what. My last DSM was prime example of that!
No smog hooked up, No Cat, EGR block off and passed no problems...We just had to put the canister with hoses clipped to the rear of the engine and he installed a baby cat in my fart can
