I am located in Sacramento, CA. I recently moved up here and I have to do my smog check. I know I will pass the smog portion but I was recently told that I would not pass a visual because I have the shinny polished intake pipes like in this video [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9owtAKYLa8 ] I also have the dual intake with the aluminum pipes and I probably wont pass with those. I went to smog shop and he concured that I wont pass at his shop. He also pointed out I need a tag showing that my Apexi twin chamber BOV were California legal. Has anybody had this same issue here in CA. I never had this issue when I lived in santa barbara county. Anybody in Northern Cali no good place to take my car. The smog shop gave me a phone number to the local referee center. Would I be shooting my self in the foot if I go there with my upgrades?
