Well, I have the AR catless DPs so he'd never find them. He even took a mirror that was mounted on a broomstick (like the ones you see the bomb squad looking under vehicles).

This is what I had on the car when I smogged it today.

BMS DCI
AR catless DPs
BMS DP fix
JB4
aftermarket axle back exhausts

The only thing I failed was the visual inspection. I drove the car home from work, about 45 min highway, so the engine was nice and warm. Guess I have to find a shop where visual inspections and inspectors aren't as anal.

If anyone has a suggestion on shops in SOCAL, please PM me. here are my results:

So what did you do other than the long drive and DP fix to get those numbers?? Also, everyone should at minimum put your stock airbox back on to make at least some effort for inspections. Also it doesn't hurt to pay for a pre test (this way the shop makes a little money and would be less of a dick).
