I just love good old California. I live in the Palo Alto area of CA. Got a '91 with RM headers and exhaust -- other than that, the engine is bone stock. I'm the original owner and the car has extremely low miles and had a major tune-up, timing belt, etc. done just one year ago. Need to smog it at a "Test Center Only" station -- and it failed (the Test Center I went to is on Woodside Road in Redwood City). So I talked to Foreign Affair in Milpitas about taking off the headers/exhaust, smogging it, then replacing the aftermarket stuff, but they said if it wasn't 50 state legal, they couldn't put it back on. I called RM and was told it's not 50-state legal, but he said many, many people have their parts on cars in CA and no one has called with smog problems. So...
Does anyone have RM exhaust/headers locally and has had it pass smog? The RM guy said to check around because there must be a Test Center that will pass it (without taking it off).
Ugh. Nothing is simple. Thanks for any help/advice!
