Sometimes I wonder the intelligence of these smog inspectors...
Let's say a driver modifies his/her car such as this.
Of course it is not factory (it is better than factory IMHO).
So what, as long as the tailpipe emission tests are good.
I understand why they look into the engine compartment: the purpose of this should be to look for broken hoses that can potentially contaminate the environment.
If the hoses are fine and all they see is a mod, so what...
If they ONLY focus on the tail pipe, then what we did as a mod should not matter...
