Help! Please????
Hi All!
I should be embarassed to admit this, But I have a 96 Kia Sportage. I was having catalytic problems, So mine was hollowed out and put back on, The Kia has two of them on it. Anyway I was reading another message board and I read it would pass without the one??? I'm here in SoCal!!! I'm due for the nasty Smog check!!!! Can someone give me some pass tips? I know to run it hard first, so it's hot/warm, I read the heat engine treatment tip too, I do not wanna have to buy another converter thing, Cause I will have to buy from a Kia dealer, it's around 600.00 EWWWWWW! Please don't be mean about my car, I really do like it! I'm a female what do I know anyway????? It's really, really cute though, it's red and looks like a little hot wheel car!!  Thanks, T.

welllll, you'll pass visual (if they eve do it, they're supposed to but they never have to me, though i live in NY) because it was placed back in, they wont know it's hollow. The thing you wont know is whether the 1 cat alone will clean the air out enough to pass the emissions test. Definitly run it hard beforehand, hope its a hot day and you should do fine, I dont see why you wouldn't pass but who knows ofr sure, good luck.
