Default 5th gen failed SMOG horribly

here's the results


im not sure if im reading it right... but the smog tech said my emissions are terrible.

so MAX = max limit? and GP = puts my car in the GROSS polluter category?

like for HC, is it supposed to be under 55 at 15mph? lol
this was at a smog place that's "PASS OR DONT PAY" so im not too disappointed since i paid nothing.

anyways, guess i'm looking at a new cat and possibly a tune.

My mods are-
racing clutch + lightened flywheel (unknown brands)
injen carb legal intake

does anyone think this could be timing related? or have some insight to what i should do? ill do mini-maintenance this weekend along with cat.

Damn dude.

You shouldn't need a tune at all, but that could help you pass.

Get that new cat on there and make sure you're on good gas

A new cat may be in order, but check out your EGR system as well. You are high on NOx, which is usually caused by a poor EGR system. However, since you are high on HC as well, it might just be the cat. Is your engine using oil? That could also be the reason for high HC.

find out why you have a mil first, could possibly fix your problem. you'll never pass smog with the check engine light on (which is more than likely emissions related!)

i dont have any CELs, the smog tech said he put that because everything's over the limit so that's the most likely reason and thats why he put it. i have absolutely no check engine lights.

Just to throw this in there... You have a question mark around something in the bottom right hand corner. Looks like a USB drive is connected to your computer, right click it and hit safely disconnect USB to make it go away.
