will my car pass smog in cali (sf) without mufflers?

 

No345.

 

The only reason that CA sucks is its smog laws, We can't really do much and pass smog....unless you pay some money.

 

phuked up gun laws too, n00b. you must not be 21 yet.

we can't txt while driving no moars *thumbs up*

 

Do you mean a straight pipe from the mid-pipe back out behind the muffler, or just straight dumps right after the mid-pipe?

Dumps are illegal period. If a tech sees those = fail.

Mufflers have NOTHING to do with smog, it is a noise issue. However straight pipes on the 4.6 sound terrible to me. If you want it loud and as close to a straight pipe as you can get, just get a SLP LM1 cat-back.


You may pass with straight pipes, or he may fail you for missing part of the exhaust. But like I said, mufflers do nothing more than quiet the exhaust noise.

 

he will fail teh visual.

 

I bet if it was straight pipes out the back, he might pass visual. That really falls down to how **** the smog guy is. Go to some smog shop in the ghetto, and they don't care. The OP needs to head to East Palo Alto to get it done.

I would just put on a cat-back of his choice and call it a day. Straights sound terrible.

 

Yes Scorpion, it depends on the year of the stang. If it's between 94-04, the mufflers are tucked all the way in. You can't see them unless you get parallel with the ground. A set of lowering springs will Help .

lol, I went to Compton to get my smogs, back when I was rolling on my 97 gt.

 

I don't care about gun laws honestly....but they are fuked up like everything else, ugh stupid no texting law!!!

 

Not texting while driving is common sense. It sucks that a law actually had to be made because people are too stupid to figure out it is a bad idea on their own.
