Keep it registered in TX as long as you can. If not......?

I can see you have an ORY in your sig. You NEED cats to pass smog. Hopefully you hung on to your stock exhaust, because I don't think the Pacesetters carry an EO number either. You should be alright with the z06 cam though as its a factory cam that's pretty efficient when it comes to emissions.

One of my new guys just reported here this week. He was worried about that. He said, he just showed the guys a green smog test paper from Tx and they gave him the base stickers. You could also ask around for someone who will bend the rules for you.

If anything, just stick some cats on there and head to a ma-'n-pa smog place or busy gas station, they will not have time to check for numbers and if all the emissions hook up are there, it should pass.
