You can also use E85 to lower your emissions if necessary and E85 gives you a nice bump in power also.
It's not just a smog test. They look at the vehicle too and I wouldn't want to risk going there with the header installed and praying they don't notice. They are nuts here, driving without a cat is considered tax evasion, since you pay a yearly tax fee to have the car registered based on emissions.
