This is not about my exhaust, just a shop telling me that they cant smog a car until they change the whole exhaust. I though this was nothing new

I don't like loud exhausts anyway

But yeah, a modern v8 is so much louder even with stock exhaust that unless you have blast pipes your 4 banger is nowhere near.

Smog shops are run by 90% idiots who not only do not know the laws properly, but tend to operate based on random fears and rumors.

We gripe about them about once a month. Nothing new

Nothing new about exhaust: New CVC for 2017


Most recent amendment was in 2015 requiring you to have an intact and complete floor. lol: CVC 27150-27159 Exhaust Systems.

Yea, loud exhaust (muffler) has nothing to do with smog (unless your running catless DP).

Tell them they are an idiot and hang up cause the owner of that car doesn't need to spend money on something they didn't need.
