However I've heard places not even doing sniffer at all for car years 2000+ so keep an eye out.
Or just swap ECU's with a stock ///M so the computer thinks it's YOU that passed the smog test. Don't listen to me I'm just bored at work.

Well if you are paying for a "pass" - you don't need to worry about sniffer OBD2, etc. I "passed" smog with failed emissions and a P0420 code (i.e. OBD2 failure also). Not to mention visual for the stickler (airbox/mufflers). However, it is not something I plan to repeat. Having to put all my trust and money into the integrity of a shady smog guy is iffy at best, as well as pricy. I'll eat the few bucks for a gasket or 2 and some bolts and a day spent swapping parts next time.
I just want to get rid of my check engine light if I can, but no big deal. I ran with one on my RSX for over 5 years, so it doesn't bother me that much. I may go ahead and swap the resonators in place of the cats, since I'm going to have a code anyway.
