here is what i did....

right before my swap, i took the car in to a local midas shop and talked to them about what i was planning to do. i told them that the jdm motor had no egr system and probably wouldnt run any cats on it. none of the guys at the shop cared and most of them started telling me old stories about how they swaped their motor when they were younger.... when it came time for my inspection they passed me with flying colors!

there are tons of shops like this. you have to remember that in ever mechanic, there is a car lover. so if you bring them a cool car, they would probably hook you up.

just imagine if you brought them a 1,000hp supra. how many of those guys would say "sorry, your smog levels are too high, bring the car back to stock" ?
