Default Re: Just Failed CA Smog. Now what?

After you fail a few times you will be instructed to take the car to a referee station. This is a State owned facility,this place will make a decision as to weather the car will not pass,pass the car with an exemption or not sure after that,I couldn't get a straight answer out the guy when I there a few years ago. I got a little help from our friend in Ill when it comes to passing the test. Is it legal,I could care less. Ca has dropped the max limits on the Nox levels from 702 in 2008 down to 502 in 2014. Replacing the O2 sensors in not an easy job,at least getting one of the plugs in. I had o jump through hoops to get a bone stock 91 to pass with 20,000 original miles. What really suck,my car at 6000 original miles wouldn't pass today. I can help with the smog issue if needed.
