Where to pass smog in sd/socal w/o sec cats please help

birdflu · 11-16-2011, 12:49 AM

Hi,
My thread title says it all. I have e92 m3 with aa exhaust and no secondary catalytic converters. I took it in to attempt to smog and they wouldnt even smog test my car because they said i fail the visual inspection. I am looking for any advice/recommendations in regards to getting my car to pass w/o putting the cats back on. Thank you!!!

It's always the people with low post counts who ask these questions. It just never fails. Add nothing to the community yet ask for illegal information at the drop of a hat.

Dude.. just put your stock pipes in and go do a smog check.. its a NO brainer.

I'm in SoCal also and have never had them look under my car for the SMOG visual inspection. So don't think you would fail the visual inspection aspect of it.

I thought the same thing when the OP said that.

Just take it to another shop...maybe they will be more lenient.

Shit sorry, i have seen similar threads, i was only looking for friendly guidance/recommendations or a pm. Im not the only one without cats, i don't think it really compares to drugs or signing off tickets. I was only seeking advice. I'll put test pipes on to pass then take them off after, a simply response suggesting this would have suffice. No more need to talk shit, I have my situation figured out.
