Hey all, it’s been forever since I’ve posted here.
I’ve searched around and maybe I just don’t have the right combination of key words, but I have some questions about smog on my old cobra. My buddy bought the car from me 2009 - 2010ish as it sits with just a upper pulley, magnaflow x-pipe (circa 2004), a cold air intake and a tune.
I never once had any problem with this car passing smog when I had it, no trickery involved. Now the ca ref station is trying to say the car has to be 100% stock down to the computer to pass. I mean the car is 16 years old, and those parts have been on there since it was new. As far as mods go that’s really not a lot, but there’s gotta be a way to tell the smog nazis to shove it.
Is putting the car back to 100% stock really the only way to get this car smogged now? That seems like a little bit much.
