Default Kooks Lt/ California

I have some kooks long tubes and im still waiting for my catted Y, and i have a smog guy that told me he can overlook the visual smog inspection, but he would be using a sniffer on the tips for the smog check, my question is this WOULD IT PASS SMOG!!!! i still dont have any heads or cam its pretty much stock with the exeption of the magnaflow cat-back, lid, SSRA. I just got a letter saying that my smog got pushed back 3 months and i dont feel like waiting 3 months to put on my long tubes . THANKS!!!

There's no reason it shouldn't pass the sniffer unless those cats you put on dont work near as good as the stock ones. Will you still have EGR?

You want EGR working to pass smog...that's the only reason it's installed on the earlier F-bods. The later models (like '01 and '02 IIRC) didn't have EGR b/c the cam was a little bit smaller which helped pass smog.

make sure that the catalytic converters you get, or come with the Y-Pipe are OBD II, otherwise you will not pass...
