Is it just a fix it ticket at the police station? or do you have to re-smog?

When you take ur downpipes off for the fix it ticket, try Cobb Stage 1+ FMIC. Its what I am running now. Its a great improvement over Stage 1 and I dont have to worry about passing SMOG/Police/Noise and the car doesn't smell. Being limited in CA and having to live under 91 octane fuel and using Cobb Sport Maps (No aggressive maps unless u Mix), I didnt really notice too much of a performance difference from Stage 2+ sport and Stage 1+ sport.

It's a fix it ticket. Change the stuff and get it written off.

I have to take the downpipes off on Tuesday anyhow for the SMOG test. So you're running the stock downpipes right now? I was thinking about leaving the OE downpipes on for now until I can afford the AR catted ones.
