Im originally from Chicago where I purchased the car and just moved out to nor cal for work. I make video games for a living. My current engine specs isnt exactly what you would call emission friendly out here and since im coming into the state Im forced to get it tested. I dont have any of the stock parts that was pulled off and the car is so far from stock at the moment, I would take alot of labor to bring it back temporairly...

Or you can go to the shadiest place you can find, leave some beer and some $$ on the seat when the smog tech hops in.

I bet your numbers will pass if your catted, you just need to get around the visual.
