can i pass smog?

i have an afc, with full racing beat exhaust, emissions taken out and the motor has about 113000 on it. it runs pretty decent and i cant physically see smoke come out the exhaust. well i was wondering if i put stock exhaust back on there. if i would be able to pass california smog? i need to get this done so i dont know what to do. if i cant do it with just putting the stock exhaust back on. what emissions do i need to put back in. thanks

You need a cat and the airpump to pass if everything else is working.

Hide the AFC. Having that visible is like having an exhaust diverter. Also, reread the other reply. "...everything else..."

Bolt on everything to smog. Take it off to go renegade.

I passed with 1 high flow main cat (bonez) and an airpump, nothing else... I took off my acv and egr valve and ran with the airpump hooked straight to the cat (just for the test) and with my S-AFC leaned out a bit and passed just fine. Also, my S-AFC was out in the open perfectly visible and they didnt say anything

Electric air pump

Do you thinik I could pass emissions in GA with an Electric air pump straight to a cat, and nothing else?

also do you run straight to cat, and do you only do this right before going to have the test performed?

You should be able to. I had the split air pipe coming up from the cat into the engine bay (hard pipe) that normally goes into the ACV. But I took all my emissions equipment out except the air pump, so I just hooked the air pump up to the split air pipe with some big rubber hose. Ran it like this JUST for the test, and then took the cat and air pump back out. I run my cat only for the emissions tests now since I have no emissions equipment and have a test pipe in instead.
