SC using the original stillen setup will pass visual and should pass tail unless a smog related component is not functioning correctly, not to mention theres a CARB exemption sticker for the SC. With a turbo, you'll need to find a way to get around the system.

Frank passed smog with his SC in a 99 maxima. He needed a shop to overlook the visual portion.

However this he was cali-spec at the time with the precats in the manifold. He probably wouldn't pass nowadays after the fed-spec conversion

Hey do you know if he had injectors at the time? Or was he using stock injectors with FMU.

Yes. The cali-spec y-pipe has the precats integrated into the manifold, you will be missing that in the fed-spec version.

Frank had stock injectors at the time. He has the 370s now.

Honestly, IMO any shop run by a small group of minorities should pass you just fine for a small price in cash.

everybody knows that you'll pass as long as you got money.

I seriously doubt anybody is going to give out their contact here. Nobody wants to burn their smog place.

I'm happy to live in canada, we dont have smog checks over here, for now.

Good luck, but with money there is always a work around.

Cheers
