So lets say a buddy of mine had lots of issues getting his renix area XJ to pass smog two years ago. Lots of work and issues resolved, it finally passed with flying colors.
Fast forward to today, test numbers are all good. Two issues come up that cause a fail.
1) TAC hot air hose missing - Is that even a smog requirement, I guess that is an easy fix. Anybody have a part number or hose diameter/length part to purchase that will fit?
2) Aftermarket CAT has not E.O. number - Same cat that passed two years ago. Purchased and installed at a local muffler shop. I assume the receipt or the muffler shop will have the information needed? Or do I have a major beef with the muffler shop? Can they even sell/install non CA cats on registered vehicles?
