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

If you're lucky enough to find a mechanic who knows their way through the smog ref process, you can put a "95 MR2" 3SGTE in your car and it would be legal. Motor swaps in California have to be from the same year or newer, which makes the 94-95 celica the only model that can legally have a 3s in this state. After the swap is complete, the vehicle is inspected and signed off, assuming everything is good. It is probably the costliest way to swap a motor.
