Default cali dudes on emissions

hey i was just wondering u cali dudes like I are always concerned with ways to pass emissions with LT's i was wondering what r some of ur guys methods to slippin through the cracks, and is it worth it to take off ur LTs to put on ur stock manifolds and y-pipe just to pass, or should i just look for a smog checker that would pass me with some extra cash under the table?

**** emmisions. Just put all the stock stuff back on come smog time, thats what I'm doing. You will have a very difficult time finding someone that will take money under the table to pass you since if you are caught, they and you get fined.
