But let's say if you were able to pull it off, please share the info

cuz I would like to get my smog passed too when I get headers

Pay off is not cheap, don't ask me how I know

But it's worth it after all labor you will put in depending on what "extra's" you might have. Cheers on finding the connect.

they check the numbers stamped on the cat for a match with oem or a california legal sub such as a magnaflow if the numbers dont match you fail the visual part of the test i hate california damn smog nazis

JBA shorties are CARB certified but the HFC's will have to be swapped out for the OEM, hopefully you kept yours, also your factory airbox if you put in a CAI. I'm so ready to leave this BS state.

The tech will know rte off the back that you have high flow cats because the HFC are smaller ive installed HFC on a v6 and v8 camaros and the new smog test has changed they do not check emissions so u can be hell of rich and still pass , just keep your monitors are ready on the cpu and do not resist your cpu by disconnecting ur battery it will not work all 2005 vehicles have a internal memory save. theres ways to pass with out a bang on ur wallet just b4 u have to smog a c5 make sure all oem are legit and shorts are ok and if u have long tubes go with a tech thats chill he might look the other way , i know all this because iem a smog/repair tech thats star cert and work at a star cert station
