You will not be able to pass smog with a test pipe.

I thought the invidia was a cat back, meaning it goes on after the cat. At least the one I have does not replace the cat.

this is not true...I passed with mine on.most places will pass you if you don't have a CEL.

they just plugged in the OBDII on mine, nothing came up so they passed me.

Use a test pipe until smog check time and then put the cat back on for the test. Very easy to swap

If he doesn't even know that a test pipe replaces the cat he probably doesn't have the mechanical inclination to swap them out for smog tests. I learned what a test pipe was when I was 10.

Man you're angry at the newbies tonight.
Time for a juice box and get to bed!
