no clue what you are getting on at. I do some diesel tuning for friends, build a few up, working a 2012 3500 right now for a friend. So, by your logic, only a "pro" knows what they are doing and everyone else just makes it up as they go?
holy crap kid, you really are like 16.
I'm 16.
I know nothing about tuning, or engines, or cars for that matter.
I just bash kittens with a bat and break peoples knees when they put stickers on my forester.

I vote next person to come on here looking for an illegal smog is banned.
It's one thing to be an idiot and post up looking for an illegal smog on here
It's another thing to ignore the previous 20 threads about this where everyone has gotten the same answer.
If you are a douche looking for an illegal smog online + You were to scummy or lazy to find the past threads =
BAN HAMMER

First off, if "carb" was about anything other than money, all they would care about is what comes out the end of the tailpipe. Not that you have "the correct smog stuff" not that you "did a swap" just what the motor is producing.
Second, do you really think its the cars that produce "smog"...really? Not perhaps oh, the factories that are all unregulated, the ships that all burn bunker fuel...
Same with swaps. People sometime hack stuff in order to fit, which could affect smog results.
Of course there are others that produce more pollution but I don't walk behind a ship and I don't climb chimney stack for fun. But I do like walking and exploring cities when I'm on vacation. And in Mexico, all the taxis I sat in had a CEL. And walking the streets, you can smell the pollution coming out of those tailpipes. And sitting in the taxi, you can smell the pollution coming out of the cars in front.

Have you ever looked up at the Alum Rock/Lick Observatory a day before and after a rain! The southbay has some serious smog issue.

LA isn't bad. I don't know why people complain about LA. I go there 2-3 times a year. The first time I went down, I didn't see the smog people talked about.

So you want your smog check to be $XXXXX instead of $XX? I hope most of the people on this forum don't drive at 1500 rpm and 2500 rpm @ 15 inhg (since it's i-club aka 4WD), go nowhere with a two step idle test. A smog check only takes a small sample from the tailpipe, what it outputs at 1500 rpm is completely different than 7500 rpm. What it outputs at 3000 rpm in 15 inhg will be different compared to 3000 rpm at 20 psi. So this whole tailpipe argument is BS since I have seen some crazy setup tuned to pass 1500 rpm and 2500 rpm but it's a polluter in all other cells.
Same with swaps. People sometime hack stuff in order to fit, which could affect smog results.
