Anyone know if vin number will tell if it was a 49 or 50 state car originally? The check engine light is not on and it appears to be completely stock under the hood so maybe it will pass. I understand you need to have a better answer than that tho. No smog testing here in Michigan to worry about.
Yea in cali I believe cars have another cat, and the testing is the most rigorous of the 50 states. A car that won't pass smog in cali is a giant paperweight
