A quick "passing smog question?"

Sup guys I was just wondering, if I would pass smog with all stock Wrx except with a Rfl Blowoff valve? I would install the stock and leave it but its lost in my garage lol. So I'm stuck with it,no big deal and never had an issue with it. Just asking cause I bought the car brand new in 05 so this is my 1st time smogging. Then its time to get the Electric cutout and some other goodies. Any advice is welcomed. Thx in advance.

Put it back to stock if you don't want any problems with the smog.

just go to a friendly smog check station. Some places are cool as long as u have stock downpipe on. Ask around at a local meet or something.

Or you can put the stock one back on or borrow a stock one and put it on and not worry about anything. Your car doesn't need the bov, and it'll run a lot better without it. unless it was tuned for it.
