only one way to find out. smog test. OR you could put the stock parts back on, go to the ref. pass... then go home and put your parts back on

yes, you'll be fine. as long as your O2 is hooked up and your cat isn't clogged, you'll pass. when my y8 had a DC Sports 4-2-1, AEM CAI, and an A'PEXi N1 cat-back, i passed with flying colors. there's a place on Greenback Lane past Beech Avenue that i use. the guy just pops your hood and runs the test. he doesn't care what i've done to my engine as long as i pay him.

i agrre with the guy that said to put the stock parts on and then smog the car. all of the parts you have are 50 state legal but some places just dont want to bother with looking up the CARB #'s. returning your car to stock should only take you less than 2 hours.

seriously man, don't worry. I'm sure you'll pass. But if all else fails, just find a "No pass no pay" place and try it out. but that place i told you about in my other post is pretty good. For real, the guy just rolls your car up on the ramps, pops the hood, and runs the test. He didn't even look at what i had done. Oh, and i'm from sacramento, too.

*EDIT*

ehhh, don't worry, you're fine. You have three minor bolt-ons. nothing to worry about unless the tester is a comlete dick.

very true. I just realized that now, too. But it'd be useless unless sivik2nr edits my post he quoted.

it's not a hook-up, though. it's a legit place, and I pay him the same as I'd pay any other place, which is $65-70 around my town. although the rates might've been raised. it's been like 1.5 years since i've gotten a smog check, so i dunno. probably around $70 now.
