              it's cheaper to just fix your car. "smog" is ~350
              fixing is max 300.

                          Ok I'll try it out.

                          Going to need to find down pipes and get a new cat. Any specific cat they're running? I have stock manifolds sitting around.

                              There is only one option. magnaflow. $200 and about $50 to weld in.

                                      in my experience Ive never payed more than $200 for a guaranteed pass. Theres no way my fun car will pass visual, let alone the sniffer with MS and no EGR system.

                                          I need one of these too! Due at the end of the year, but my S52 is going in with longtubes and no cats.

                                                      Not condoning this, but if you're dirt poor or would rather spend the money on Christmas:

                                                      Drive the engine to get everything hot, but only have a little bit of 91 octane gas in the tank. Before smog, add a bunch of denatured alcohol in the tank. Alchohol burns really clean, but in the long run bad for the engine. Pass smog, then immediately fill the tank. Car may run really hot, so be sure they have a fan pointing at the engine bay.

                                                      Research though, because with the wrong mix you could fail NOx if you run too lean.

                                                      Or, you could go some legit path . . .
