Yup this sucks i didnt expect this
Yeah man i have a cousin in washington and a friend in nevada im tempted to leave this overrated state
no you cant use sct you have to use a moates quarterhorse
Not any better here, mine will be registered in Oregon.
Lol i thought abt texas i can transfer to a distribution center out there from my job but lowkey being somewhere where i dont know anybody or area is scary lol
Thx
Really vegas is strict would of never guessed although i never researched much because modifying my car isnt really my goal
Wa here, smaller town 45min out of Seattle. Towards the Cascades, no smog.
is your car stock?? what mods have been done to your car?
because if your car is stock or close to it, all of this is a moot point and you can just go to the bar ref without any worry. you will also save about $40 because all they charge you is $8.25 otd.
yep, there are pros and cons to everything
My car as far as i know has a bassani catback the carb legal drop in k&n filter, carb legal replacement shorty headers, and the catalytic converters were replaced dealer had to replace parts im guessing previous owner had full exhaust only thing i can see not legal it has a 3.1 billetflow pulley i bought the pulley cover i know its not much he can probably just remove it too see size didnt hurt to try
So basically own a terminator and get sent to the state ref on pure speculation and zero proof of wrongdoing. Guilty until proven innocent.
I wonder if this same situation is affecting other often heavily modified cars as well.
Hopefully they leave us lowly 2V guys alone!
AFAIK that is correct
2V is fine and will never be an issue as there are far too many to have that problem

Washington state no longer has a smog check program.
Unfortunately its CA especially in Socal
I still think it depends on the tune. My car was smogged back in 2018 and passed legitimately. Well, for the most part. It had an SCT tune, but all monitors were active and set. It was a pain, but I got it done. It was due for smog this year and I didn't get a notice for having to go to the ref. Not yet at least. And I have my tags.
Interesting although I still think SCT sold people down the river but that is purely speculation.
I know we have one member who smogged his car on the stock tune and was flagged 2 years later before he even had his car connected to the smog machine. I believe he had an SCT tune but again the car was never hooked up to a state computer.
That is possible. It would be interesting to see how many of the people sent to the ref are tuned with SCT software. But then I think a couple people on here were sent to ref with cars that have never been modified.
