Getting my GF8 2001 OBS Conversion to pass CA SMOG and back on the road.

Man I haven't been on i-club for over 7 years. Life happened, got married, had a baby and my first love is close to getting out of the shop. I had a 2001 Outback Sport hybrid conversion (05 WRX), now its full 2.5. The conversion is legal and I got my BAR/CARB sticker (end of 04/beginning of 05). The car has been out of commission since 2011.

Anyway, I just wanted to get some updated information on passing smog, the non visual side. Are the main items still OBII readiness, no CELs, and visual?

2001 Outback Sport
2.5 Block
TD06-20G
Tomei Equal Length Header
Vishnu/Taipan Dual Tip TBE
EcuTek Tune

I know I know another smog thread, I just wanted to make sure, get some current information and get my car back on the road

TIA

btw, what happened to all the action and where is everyone? everyone on FB now?

I-club is mostly dead now. It seems most people are on facebook. I don't know anything about smog! Welcome back though!

Yes, for that year those would all still apply.

Catback will pass, but DP will fail visual, not sure about the header, but since is before cat I expect most places would question it.
