I got my California SMOG done and was amused watching the young guys look in the Trunk and Frunk for the engine.

After realizing it was located in the mid section and they had no idea how to open that section up, they just gave up on that part. Not sure what they would do in there anyway.

As per the new SMOG rules they just plug in to the computer and read the codes. If no engine light is on you already know you are going to pass. No tailpipe sensing required.

2nd Cat deletes and all it still passes with flying colors.

I do feel a like $60 for literally 5 minutes of tech time is high. Most of the 15 minutes time now is spent me filling out their form and paying.
