Just got a smog check
I just got a smog check last night and I passed. I have a 2002 Subaru WRX. Just in case anyone was curious, I passed with the following mods on:
Perrin Silcone Intake hose
K&N replacement air filter
Gruppe-S uppipe
STI Injectors
VF30 Turbo
Utec Engine Management (stage 4 map selected, slightly modified by me)
I had to put my Turbo Back exhaust back on in order to pass, because i was running catless since i first bought the car.
Hope this helps anyone who needs to pass smog soon, and is running the same mods or equivalent.

I passed legally. I stopped by some gas station by my house that did smog checks. Everything was 100 percent legit. He did a visual inspection, even looked underneath the car to see that I had a Cat.

besides the visual test, the test also involves. Maintaining the rpm to 2500, the guy used a tool on the pedal to maintain it at 2500, he also did it himself. He also check the MIL/CEL, and the gas cap. I think that was about it besides the usual emission part of it.

Yep I also just passed the other day....
- WRX motor
- DW 565cc Injectors
- VF34
- STi Uppipe
- KN Filter
- Prodrive catback
They just rev'd to 2500 and kept it there for like 30seconds then did the gas cap pressure test. Visually everything looked stock and was fine. I didn't get any second looks or nothing. Passed sniffer very well. I only had my stock DP reinstalled then removed it and put my stromung dp on the next day. F U California
Cheap too....$40 OTD with everything including cert

well the turbo is not under boost at all so smog is really not the issue, if you have your stock dp and CBE you will pass the sniffer just fine. The visual is the part that most people have problems with, but if the smog person does not know that much about your car you can pass the smog just fine.
