Used to do this with my Audi's all the time. They are out there...and remember "cash is king"
Where can I find a place that’s lenient? I moved to Cali from out of state.

Hey. Sent you a PM. The only way to pass CA smog with bad (or hollowed out) cat converters is with my mini cats. All other methods do not work in CA. You will get caught with anything you try and that can be really bad because if you get caught you then have to go to the BAR as a registered gross polluter and make an appointment in which they check all part numbers of every single part on the engine and document it.

I have had to do it before. They even got out an inspection scope to check the fuel injector part numbers. CA is not the place to try untested methods to pass smog.

Then move out...people have a right to smog free air. Alabami or Missery might be a good choice for you.
