Last night I prepped it for round one of smog testing. Removed my previous catch can setup (was highly ineffective anyways) and installed the metal tube that goes from the block breather to the PCV valve. In that process I also managed to break one of the plastic Ts that is used to allow me to run the N75 AND a MBC so I had to take the MBC completely out of the loop.

What I mean by round one: at this point I'm not sure I will pass emissions (sniffer) testing OR the visual inspection... 034 Motorsport high-flow cat, black soot on my exhaust tips (will attempt to clean before testing), FMIC, etc.

Round two will depend on round one; if round one is successful then round 2 won't exist. But if it doesn't pass then I may have to throw the stock cat back in, switch to a stock ECU/stock injectors, and/or stock SMIC. This could be fun....

I have black on my exhaust too. but it's from the diesel smoke. but there aren't any pinholes in the exhaust itself, i know that is enough to fail inspection.
