are you failing because the parts aren't CARB exempt or because you are emitting too much whatever?

If its due to a CARB violation you may have some trouble finding somewhere to pass you. If you consistently fail you can get a waiver, but there are other steps involved.

Don't you have your stock manifold/cat assembly?

You should have told me a few days ago... I had two in my garage and just threw them both away...

Do you still have a cat at all? If not, you'll have to pay big bucks and find a really 'nice' shop...

i dont have my stock exhaust...my car passes the emissions but fails the visual...i think i got a handle on someone who will pass me...but if anyone has an extra full exhaust for future uses that would be great.

Thanks for all your replies,

Matt
