My car's registered in a county that doesn't require smog checks. :-D I don't know exactly how much the secondary cats do, but I'm thinking that since the O2 sensors are before them, it would probably still pass w/ the primary cats only.

If someone in California legally passed a smog without secondaries, let me know...

Well, mine's a 55, so the resonator is bigger. Therefore taking the resonator off mine would make more difference on mine than yours. Also, I have an Eisenmann Race muffler. Throw on a magnaflow and you'll get a good bit of difference. The sound quality's pretty good too.

Don't quote me but I have heard you will still pass a smog test without secondary cats but you take a risk of failing a visual inspection if one is administered.
