No, i have not. The guy took my $$, ran the test, it passed emissions, but then ultimately failed me on the visual. I guess i am the fool, though i passed 2 years ago with the same setup. I have an 02wrx with Cobb stage 2 base map, Cobb TBE with the race cat, and a Cobb up.
I am bummed, cuz i am not using the sensor in the up pipe, just doing the 2.2k ohm resistor in the sensor. Well, i guess they want the sensor in there, which means i have to pull out my up, drill and thread where the bung would be, and then reinstall. I also have to change back to my stock downpipe, but that is not a big deal.
Actually, i am more than bummed, i am pissed. Not a lot of free time or $$ on my hands lately.
Anybody else have any ideas??

Hey wrxsleepr.
Were you able to get your smog? I'd like to know. I'm in the same boat and I'm in San Jose too.
