California Smog and flash question

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?

Is the RMR intake before or after the MAF sensor???...if its before then ur OK.....any mod up stream of the Cat converter is a failure...unless u have a C.A.R.B. #..so the down pipe my be a issue as well....if u go to a **** smog station.

You might have a hard time passing visual w/ the intake. Why not stick w/ the stock intake? It's been proven not to be restrictive. Guys have run low 12s on it.

I talked to smog guy and he said that aftermarket intake will pass. Pick your smog location carefully and you will have no problems

A friend of mine passed in socal with an after market intake when he moved from VA
