Dont know if the cats are really visual from how low the car is (unless they jack it up), but itll be hard to find someone that would take a quick look and ignore it..

When i had my g35 and intakes; im sure they assumed there were other mods elsewhere aswell. Im currently still on stock cats, but this time i have stillen intakes. Well see when its smog time (3 months) to see if theyll take a 'better' look this time

Stillen G3 intakes are CARB legal.
You should've received a sticker when you bought them...if you got them new.

I have them installed along w/ the FI CBE (OEM Cat) and passed legit smog test.

Yes i did receive them; but i know some smog places that would check the whole car if he or she sees one modification for performance.
When i smogged my z, the engine bay was completely stock. He didnt do a full visual at all.. Just said it looks good and went on with the obd2

On my g35, i had JWT popcharger with the sticker clearly visible, but he went ahead and did a full on look (under and everything)

Same guy, one day apart.
