Anyone know of 'friendly' SMOG stations in the sacramento or san jose area?

It's that wonderful time of the year again, and I still don't have mufflers

This is the first year I'll be getting a smog check without them, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues passing without them? Anybody know a place that will still pass you without them?

I know under California law they are required as part of the smog check, but I've never paid attention before to notice how thorough they are in checking...


Thanks!

As I said in your last thread, you don't need mufflers to pass smog. I passed smog no problem with a delete and so have many others.
