can't pass smog test!

need help quick!

i moved to CA 2 weeks ago and trying to do a smog test now with aftermarket modification (intake, header, and catback) but I can't pass with the kamikaze header and i don't have the stock header with me.
anyone willing to lend me their stock header for the smog test?

i'm also thinking about putting the car to stock and sell it
please let me know if you have any stock parts to trade.

basically i have the following parts:
tein basic coilover w/ spc front & rear camber kit
ebay intake
obx catback exhaust
kamikaze cermaic header
pioneer d2 with ipod adapter


or maybe you can tell me where's the junk yard that i can get some of the stock parts from... i'm around south san jose.. thanks a lot, guys!!!!

cali is stupid then. you shouldve shown him what the stock looks like and what the kami replaces. theyre basically the same except one looks better. its the exact part with bigger tubes.

i don't know if i'll be getting new ride yet...
i just found out i'll be out of town most of the time working... so doesn't seem to be a good idea to get a new ride.. so trying to pass the smog test and get the CA license plate first..
but i'm thinking G35 and IS250/350...

There are smog tests on every 10th corner in california. Find out if you need a test only shop or not.

You should be catching more attention with that intake instead of the header. GL with it though. There's plenty of pick and pulls and honda junkyards around Sacramento.

Hey bro I got a stock header you can use for smog but I need it back. You have an ex right? If its worth the drive just smog it up here then put your header back on and head home either way let me know I will try to help.
