"smog"

Im in need of a smog this year, but ive got a vf30 with all supporting mods also a turbo inlet and im completely catless. I really dont have the time or energy to take it all of for 1 day and put it back on. So im wondering what do you big power/crazy setup guys do when in need of a smog...any reccomendations?

If you are running a FMIC, header, even some intakes and exhaust, or upipe you can get by. You will need a stock downpipe and a top mount with the stock bov will help. I no longer have to worry about this due to being registered in my home state. Good luck.

Tune has really nothing to do with smog! Second injectors also don't. Put you stock exhaust on and you will be fine. If your lazy and don't want to do that I might be able to help you! Built 30r fmic 1000cc injectors and e85 i passed with lower numbers then a stock sti

+1, no need to change anything except put on the stock downpipe and bvp like everyone tells you to and go smog that thing. especially if running e85, emissions will actually be lower than stock (NOx, CO)
