[mkiv] Smoging

[the_queen_is_dead at cox.net]

I forgot to mention the guy that did mine was pretty strict about it  
all, too. I have both stock cats with the Blitz NUR Spec. The one  
thing that raised an eye prior to my inspection via discussion was  
that I don't have the stock air filter on the car. He said I needed  
to have a CARB number for it which I found interesting because I was  
told by the state ref that if it was before the MAF, it wasn't an  
issue. I mentioned that and this guy said that wasn't the case. I'm  
currently running the HKS mushroom in the Max Cold Air box (with CARB  
#).

The smog guy seemed pretty freaked. The State must have made a few  
more rounds or put them all on notice. He mentioned about him getting  
nailed if he'd pass it with anything not legit. Went over my engine  
compartment with a fine tooth comb and flashlight haha! I've been to  
this place before and he's never been this "uptight".
