![Question](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I currently have an RMR k&n intake, hks exhaust, stock cat and soon an hks dp. Im also planning on flashing the ecu to fine tune the car with my mods. Question is with the preceding set up and flash....will I still pass smog?

the K&N intake & HKS DP will give you trouble on the visual inspection, but if you didnt get a "Test Only" check, you can find the shadiest mom & pop smog shop & they may just skip the visual inspection, or look past it for a couple bucks (be aware it is a 10,000$ + fine for them if they get caught, so be subtle)
as for the Flash, its hard to say, it really depends on your tuners approach as a few points on the A/F can throw the emmisions way out of whack making it hard for your cat to do its job..... make shure you find a Smog center without a 4 wheel dyno & you will be able to do an "Unloaded" test. with no load on the motor it should have very little in the way of emmisions
also, set up an appointment with your smog center so you can get your test as soon as you walk in the door & drive very hard on you way to the shop, the hotter the cat, the better it can do its job
