smog test in southbay

I tried to get a smog test today and was denied because of my exhaust (invidia n1) anyone know of a place in san jose/ milpitas area that will test with exhaust or do I really have to put my stocker back on?

Cat-back shouldn't matter

If you have other mods done to the car besides just a cat-back exhaust then they can deny you. The cat-back is only going to change the sound of the exhaust, it won't affect any of the SMOG equipment portions of the exhaust.

That's BS - no CARB number is required for anything south of the cat.
