Question Should I bother with a pre-test? Going to smog car soon....maybe today

EDIT: Car passed w/ no pretest, thanks for the replies.

Ok I don't think theres anything for me to worry about but thought I might get an opinion. I need to smog my car now, so do you guys (RS ppl) in particular do the pre-test?

1999 2.5RS

K&N filter
Removed silencer
Borla cat-back exhaust
No CEL
~27k miles on the motor
Regularly maintained


Should I just go ahead and get it tested as is and how much should I warm up the cats before taking it in?

Take it in warm, but I'll predict you pass with flying colors....

you don't have any mods that drastically change your emmisions. no cats missing so you're all good for taking the sniffer test.
