Hi, I have a skunk2 mega power catback on my 1999 civic ex and I need to go get it smoged. Thats all i have on the car is the exhaust. The motor is bone stock. But will i pass smog? Also can I get any tips on how to pass a smog. It has 78,000 miles on it so it not a new car. Thanks for the help in advance.

Oh and I live in cali and i run on 87 octane gas

 

it depends on where you live different states/county have different standards

I cant find it. So does that mean that it wont pass smog?

 

all catbacks will pass visual... as long as you have a stock cat or CARB approved cat...

now whether or not that will affect your emissions i don't know.. but as it stands the '99 ex is a LEV vehicle and really should have no problems passing...

if you bought your car new you should've seen a LEV sticker... Low Emissions Vehicle

Thanks also is the sticker under the hood, Because I got my car from an auction and the hood needed to be changed. No motor damage. Just hood and fender. But there was 2 stickers on the old hood. Are those it? (im getting new ones)

 

i think its on the rear side windows if im not mistaken

 

A cat back exhaust has no effect on your cars emissions. Testing would be the same with, and w/out it. Some smog locations frown upon anything aftermarket, and may not want to test your car because of it visually, but again, it doesn't change your cars output.
