Smog options for my FC

So ive had my FC for close to a year, air pump is hooked up, and im fairly certain the car will not pass smog. So what are my options? i really dont feel like spending more on a cat thats worth as much as the car.

smog isnt that hard to pass....
i have passed with just a heater hose going from the air pump to a 150k+ cat...

then my old t2 passed with a street ported motor and 180k+ maincat....

my fd passed smog with 9 miles on a rebuilt engine.... that sat outside for 2 and a half years.... and 115k on the cat....

You have a few smog options. The most obvious one is a smog only shop. There are also shops that can do repairs on smog cars as well as smog it. Then you can get it to the BAR, but why would you want to do that. Um... yeah o.o

If you have a smog problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them maybe you can hire The A-Team
