Lets make a smog bet

91 n/a

78,888k miles

Stock cat, stock everything pretty much besides corksport catback.

She passed 2 years ago or whenever the old owner smogged her with flying colors, this will be my first time.

Will she pass?

I think she will, oh yeah I advanced the timing a few degrees and put in half a bottle of octane booster, would that make the emissions go up or down? maybe should drive pointlessly and put some 87 in.

Everybody here has huge exhausts and the general area is pretty ghetto so I doubt I'd fail the visual, if I do I always got a stock catback under the house

Catbacks are completely legal in CA. The only legality issue you have to worry about with a catback is the noise, and smog tests don't deal with that issue.

Have any videos of you revving with that catback?

It's a corksport, I'm ridding of the cat and replacing it with a small muffler I have to use the silencer otherwise you can't hear anything besides the rotors lol.

cops never bothered me though.
