So you Cali (and other smog check states) peeps, when you get a smog check do you remove mods?

CAI?
Non-Stillen POP?
Any exhaust?
Custom ECU?

I just did a smog check today and the guy said most people fail on the ignition timing.... so for those of you who advanced the timing, do you reset for the test?

TIA

Mine passed the Mass one by a lot. They put it on the dyno and ran it too. Didn't say anything about the y pipe either.

you can go to a shop that your friends recommend. Or before you smog the car ask them if its a problem if you have an intake or whatever else on...

You can always do the $70-$100 SPECIAL smog.

How did they do the test if they didn't put you on the dyno?

They measure the car's emissions while runing the car on the dyno. 2 years ago when the dyno test first came out I passed with no problems with my Greddy, RT Cat & Y-pipe while alot others failed.
