are your two o2 sensors hooked up and working fine? If so, you'll pass w/o problems. Oh, and your hi-flow cat is a cat, right? and not a "cat," if you get my drift?

You should pass, though.

dc headers...might wanna get ur stock exhaust manifold on that...dc's are known to fail. as long as u got those CARB stickers, u should pass.

I dunno how great those high flow cats are just to be on safe side, put ur stock exhaust manifold and cat back on ul be cool. u can keep the exhuast on that doesnt effect anything.

Make sure the cat. has warmed up.
High flow cats. take longer to Warm up and work properly.

retard timing will help also.
I had Toda B cams, A.Teo cat, and passed KY smog after retarding timing and warming the snot out of the car (i.e., revving while waiting in line )
