Sliver_Power,
you're in Dallas right? Here's what they check for:

The exhaust system is right here:

If you gut the cat without physically damaging the outside case, they'll never know. It's only a visual inspection. They don't hook the exhaust up to a smog machine like California.

i just smogged my truck it is cali emission truck, whatever that means? but i live in reno,but they hook it up to the computer of the truck ,no tail pipe probing, if you have a CELthe smog machinewill fail it automatically , and nothing you can do about it, except what they "used" to do was hook up a new car and pass it that way,not even disconnecting the battery before smog and hook it back up and smog it really quick will work, because it has to go thru a drive cycle and the smog machine will reconize that, (my friend tried to do it ,did not work), so that way won't work either,but now they are updating the software and they are now encrypting the vin code into the computer of the vehicle so the smog machine will reconize the vin to the vehicle thats being smogged,so you cant cheat it thru on someone else's new car, the guys also said they cant change the readings like the older vehicles to cheat it thru, this is coming from a guy who passed two of my older vehicles in the past
