From what people have told me i hear this goes on all the time or just will be super busy because its labor day.

Also what a waste of time, most cars post 1989 are very clean and basically clean the air as they move.

SR20's in good condition (stock of course) have non-existant HC's and CO's with a working cat.

The NOX tends to be super high (2500+) because the engine has no EGR valve.

My guess? They probably cite and/or arrest you on the spot.

Then they smog the car anyways.

Of course, if this were to happen you could contest it in court...

You sure it was a smog check? I drove by, at the time and it looked to be a sobriety check point. I spoke with one of the officers while i was heading towards the tennis courts in my car and he didn't mention anything bout it (my car) having a loud ass exhaust, kit, and wheels. I'm sure it wasn't a check point for smog related issues.
