Hey guys, if you're from socal, can you please tell me about your smogging experiences and specifically which shops are more receptive to modded cars. I just came back from 4 shops that rejected me after I told them the car was modded. The first place told me some BS about how CARB E.O.#'s don't even matter now, and that as long as the modification was there, they couldn't smog the car, but I'm pretty sure they're just messing with me. On the other hand, has anyone heard of this new law being passed here in CA, the shop told me it went into effect 4 months ago. All the other shops just told me their policy is to not smog modified cars, and I was like wth!!!! Isn't this some sort of discrimination??? Anywayz, peeps in cali, gimme some feedback if you can, I'm driving around with my stock header and bypass valve zip tied, car is not running too well. Thanks.

Jon
