Default ART test pipes and smog testing

Anyone have these on? Any CELs?
What are you gonna do at smog time..swap em out?
I have an 08, so no testing until 2014 for me. I'm thinking of putting these on my 08 HR. BTW...as of 2013, we prolly won't have the sniffer any more..just OBD. Not that it will be any easier to pass without a CAT on.

Keep your OEM cats to swap back in or pay Juan Gonzales $200 for a pass.

Gettin harder and harder for Juan to do it..trust me.
I think when they go 100% OBD in 2103, we may get a break...ART (and others?) has defouler that simulates normal readings (no CEL). If they're NOT gonna sniff..it looks like OBD passes you.
