Well that is good to know. Thanks for the info. My passenger side was always the problem with the factory manifolds too. I never did figure out EXACTLY what the deal was.

There are also smog exempt counties here in cali. some lucky people register their address there smog once then never smog again. But those places are out in the sticks. just goes to show smog is nothing more than a money grabbing issue.

I figured that was the case. That would be a can of worms. If they weren't there in the first place, then they can't be removed OR relocated. It seems so silly. Everyone knows that the major source of pollution isn't passenger cars. Power plants and commercial shipping. Why not just target the offenders? ...because there's no volume, and therefor, no $$$.
