bump. the explanation to the pandoras box is that you dont have to remove your tubes or reinstall your stock parts to make it pass.

Drive to New York and get a mailbox at MailBoxes, etc.

Then register your car in NY and ask the folks to forward all your mail to SoCa.

NY got rid of the dreaded sniffer a few years back - we now have an electronic PCM test only. No codes, no problem.
