You will need a C.A.R.B. sticker on the intake...exhaust should be fine if the cat is still there....good luck

Drive around to get the engine warm before taking it. I mean proper warm... Though, if the visual inspection takes a long time, it wouldn't be of much use. It couldnt harm to have everything that was sitting cleared out for a nice accurate reading of your exhaust chemicals:D

You can drive around all you want, but, if you have a vacuum leak, or your car isn't tuned right...your smog results will be through the roof! Ever heard of a gross polluter?
