Having a hard time passing smog. First was high NOx, I thought the intake boot woulda fix it because it had a hole underneath the boot. Second try with new intake boot, result came out gross polluter. Like wtf. After searching, I might need a new cat and O2 sensor. But the deal is, I don't want to get a new cat for 250 or so. That's like paying for an illegal smog(If you know someone let me know) and it sure will pass. Anyone know a cheap place I can buy/want to rent me a working cat?
One of my friends just drilled out his CATs so they are free flowing and his car surprisingly passes smog. I'd replace the O2 sensor first then worry about the CAT later if it doesn't pass with the new O2.

get a new O2. I just passed my car and it's 100 points less than 2 years ago bc i let her idle the whole time she was waiting for the smog.
and i was rocking a dirt airfilter and oil

I checked the new intake boot before putting it in. It used to buckle on first gear with the old intake boot and its fine now. I made sure I tightened the clamps and checked for leaks. I didn't find any, so I'm assuming its good. I'll try the O2 sensor. On the other hand, does anyone have a used euro plate filler for sale?
It's tough. I haven't been through this sort of thing in five years. It's a complicated situation, not just some young, high school-ish relationship. I guess you just have to take it at face value and push forward.
Glad to have r3v to wallow away in instead of going outside. Haha.
