What happens if you go to smog with all of that? Will they just tell you to fix it or will they give you a ticket? If they will just tell you to fix it then go, see which stuff they don't like, then go home and take it off If they will give you a ticket, then take it all off

take it and get a pretest. a pretest is not sent to dmv so if you fail, you and the guy doin the pretest are the only ones who know.

The only thing they ever looked for on mine was the main cat and air pump.

I pass every year, actually I need to go again next month..

You fail automatically for having a FMIC and open element air filter, they won't even test you.

Thats just one of the differences between the AZ and CA smog requirements.
