i should pass my smog...right?

2006 subaru wrx wagon. 67k miles.

This is the first year I have to smog my car, bought it brand new.

Everything is back to stock minus the SPT exhaust (which shouldn't be an issue I think)
Unmarried access port, recently did the 60k (about 3k ago)
Just changed my oil
fixed the gas smell

No other problems with the car. I don't burn oil or anything

So I should pass my smog right? I know the evap is good, that was related to fixing the gas small. Any reason I wouldn't?

Thanks,
Ryan

smog tests are never a guarantee... but you should pass

maybe the smog ref will be a ***** and not pass you because of the spt exhaust

but i am sure youll pass no problem
look on craigslist.. you should be able to find a place for $40 total. including certificiates

Actually I have carb stickers for the spt intake and exhaust.

Pretty close to that. There was a purge valve that just barely didn't hold vacuum, tiny pinhole, and it seems to have fixed the gas smell

you'll pass the sniffer no problem.
as long as you have your cats on, you don't have to unmarry your AP.
You can even run a stage 1 or 2 map.
depending on how youre tuned just stay out of boost on your way to the inspection station. :P

....but since you did unmarry the AP make sure you drive at least 100 miles before testing. otherwise the values wont populate and they wont be able to do the test.
