Need to borrow stock exhaust to pass smog!!
So i have a full catless exhaust on my 2002 wrx with a catless downpipe as well, so im asking if anyone has one i could borrow for this weekend?? Now my question is could i pass smog with just the catback and the midpipe? Or will i need a catted downpipe as well? Thanks

Put on your cats and you should be fine. Stop by West Sac Smog off West Capitol. You only need cats to pass emissions. Just tell him you were referred by Sum.

All you actually need is the DP to pass in most instances. I have a flex joint in my up pipe and both times I have smogged the tech thought it was a cat in the up.....

The DP should have the two stock cats in it. Who does your work? usually shops will have stockers laying around, or be able to point you in a good customer who is catless and still has the stockers direction.
