Default Need help with 'Visual-Friendly' smog shop

I'm not exactly expecting anyone to just blurt out who could help me on the open internet...I'm in northern LA County (Antelope Valley/Palmdale/Lancaster area), but am willing to travel as far as necessary. IM me if you might be able to give me a hint where I may be able to go for a 'Visual-Friendly' smog inspection. It's the first inspection, so registration just says take it to 'smog check station'...doesn't require 'test only' or anything like that.

I have 2003 automatic coupe Blackwing open air cleaner and LG Pro long tube headers and would like to not have to remove all of that just to get through smog inspection if at all possible.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

My advice is to call around your local area first.

One smog shop I called told me to go to the local PORSCH dealer and find out who they use as almost none of them are stock. LOL

The guy I used didn't care about the BLACKWING or headers, but was more concerned about the CARB sticker on the maggie.

I passed!
