Southern California and smog with no cats

Hey guys, I'm originally from Texas but moved to California recently. I'm trying to see if anyone knows any way around smog here since I don't have cats. Thanks

Sent you a pm scooby.

None at all. When I was having my midsection made, I opted to remove them all.

you can get a temporary moving permit for 1 month if you're nice to the person helping you at the DMV...say you need to drive your car to the mechanic to get repaired then it'll be smog ready...something like that...i don't know exactly what their requirements are for temporary moving permits. every time i've asked i've been declined personally, but friends of mine get them all the time.
