All that and my car passed with flying colors.
What I would suggest is to call up SLP, tell them you bought some of their headers and tell them you need replacement stickers because you're kit didn't come with them. That should get you to pass the visual.

I'll try to take some digital photos but I've never tried posting pictures on the web. These are coated headers and are distinctive due to the single flange that connects all the tubes (versus individual flanges). These particular headers were also originally carried by Doug Rippie and the quality looks very good. I think Watson is more known for some longtubes they made for ZR-1 Vettes. Watson no longer makes headers but they have a website (www.watsoneng.com).

I'm with most of the other SLP header guys...my car passed with no problems. Went to my local Arco gas station and had it smogged...he just looked for the cats and tested the car. Passed with no problems. I do have a problem now though.
