I know nothing of what will pass for smog and what will not. Is there anyone here off the top of their head that knows what performance upgrades you can do with your car, including exhaust etc, that will still pass for smog in the sucky state of California? I know this is asking a lot but since this state smogs and I am not willing to find a way around ($$$ *Wink *Wink) unless I had some Heavy engine swap done. Anyone? I appreciate any replies. Even if you say something like "Vinyl!". Already said it! LOL

you can get away with modding your exhaust, as long as its not too loud. and you can do your intake, as long as its a carb legal brand. injen is the only one i know of. that's all i know. performance header won't pass. turbo definitely won't. if you want, you can put on a cai and header (or even turbo) and just take it all off once every 2 years for smog.
