And a 4 stage oil-scavenging air pump.

Yea, I am surprised about the header- failed visual and physical (sound).

Took my 635 for smog when I sold it and I removed the useless charcoal carbon filter long ago and shop was inquiring.

One reason to have that is they may think its the air pump.

Two belly pans and a stock-appearing engine compartment goes a long way towards anonymity during smog. All the emissions-related vacuum lines, hoses and valves are there, and the airpump belt is there. It's just helping pump oil, not air.

First time I had the stroker smogged, I'd left the fuel pressure gauge on the rail. They gave me some grief about it. Lesson learned.

Stock, right?

No. The cross-brace is missing. Fail.

No tooting horns here, but I have had headers on my car since 2005 and it has always passed smog, except for the time when it was running rich due to the temp II sensor being faulty.

Maybe there are other perks to living in the wilderness...

Of course the luck will run out once the extra screws are attached to the motor.....

The place I take the car to does a "manual" smog anyway, so maybe the luck will hold.. We shall see next year when it is due for a smog....
