Why isn't this for 1996 vehicles and newer?

If they go to ODB-II and people are using O2 sensor fixes on high-flow-cats, would this mean they would pass smog assuming the visual didn't catch the cat? Obviously a test pipe would stink so much they would catch it regardless.

Curious, does the OBD2 Emissions read from the primary o2 sensor, or secondary o2 sensor? I have my secondary disabled through the ecu.
That was my impression as well, since I did my last smog with it disabled. But at the same time, sniffer readings were coming from the back so I wasn't sure.

If a CHP pulls you over, and thinks you're in violation of smog laws, they can request that you submit to an impromptu smog. There's no legal reason for you to comply, and no requirement to do so. Why they're there is to state resources and citizens time, voluntarily.
Sorry, I had to use the caps
. Smog laws in no way changed regarding visuals AFAIK. You still have to pass both visual confirmation of parts, as well as an emissions test.

Not completely related but wanted to share that I saw a post on IG of a checkpoint-mobile smog station setup on N. 1st Street. Anyone hear, see of it first hand & know what that is all about?

The visual and functional portion of the test was easy to pass but now with removing the sniffer.... i can see smogs are going to be more and more easy to clean pipe...
