I gotta get my car smogged very soon and was wondering if there are any places or tips on getting it passed. Car is a 2000 Mustang GT with long tube headers and intake. I will be putting the midepipe with cats on it beforehand. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I always get mine pre tested if I have to go to a test only and take the paperwork so they know not to fk me, it's worth the money to show that it just passed a pretest within a week so don't try anything.

Right.

I tried smogging with long tubes and failed the visual on those alone.
Went home & cut the carb E.O.# plate off of a set of smog legal shorties and tack welded it right onto the long tubes.
He just needs that number to punch into the computer.
I think they might also count the # of cats that are supposed to be on your car from factory.
I say its all about the tech, some are cool & some not.
