Default jdm's worth it with new smog reg. coming up soon.

well a couple show i know are getting dyno thingy machines to do smog around summer time. it will test the car in all driving conditions not just idle and 2500rpm. so it would be harder to pass smog. so are jdm's worth it? if you want to pass you gotta put all the smog devices on the car which will cause a loss in power. i might as well get a usdm engine then.

Where you asking a question or giving an opinion? I feel so bad for you guys out west. Here in lovely Pa we don't have to worry about emissions...just as long as you have a Cat when the inspector checks your undercarriage.

I feel sorry for you guys. Here in HillBilly Kentucky, we don't have any inspections and my gf once drove straight headers for 3 months without a ticket. AH, the joy of KY.
