Okay, long story short; I got a ticket for my exhaust, and now the CHP office is sending me to the state ref. I need to clear my CEL because they're going to give me a DB test and a smog test.

I need the following:

ULEV O2 sensors upstream and downstream (I think, I'll need to get the code read again)
5speed LX ecu (I'm sure it being LX doesn't matter, but it'd be nice. I just need to clear the CEL.)
5 speed gauge cluster, or the part that goes over the gas and temperature readout so that it doesn't say P R N D 2 1

So to sum it up, I can't let the state ref know that I did a 5 speed swap, and I have to pass smog. I might need to borrow someone's ULEV cat too, and I'll pay for that if needed :)

In most cases, yes. You can get it barred in CA but it has to be done to perfection supposedly.

If I get a different ECU, would my vtack still work ? I have a ULEV so would I still pass smog with any ol' 5 speed ecu ? Also, if I can pass smog with just a normal ECU without ULEV, would I still need ULEV O2 sensors ?
