WRX Smog Check help
I have a WRX with a vf30 ,sti injectors, and a utec. I put the stock turboback on, is it possible to pass smog as it sits now?no cat in the uppipe? I also have a cel fix kit on the o2 sensor. ANy help would be great.
Thank you

They're going to look for anything obvious (i.e. exhaust and intake mods) that would affect emissions. They will notice if you do not have the stock midpipe with cat and they might notice the downpipe, but no way would they be able to see an aftermarket uppipe. If you are paranoid, put the stock TBE back on before the test. The only concern is that you will be running pig rich and there may be some timing advance with the UTEC map which may cause some concerns. Anyone else care to comment?
I would love for Cobb to come out with a Smog flash that would basically allow for passing CA emissions by putting the stock TBE on with no other changes.
