Questions about smog testing on cars

Does anyone know of anyone or a place that will let me pass a smog test if I pay for extras ? ?
I am having a very difficult time because my friend bought me a car that is a hassle. I was told that it needs to be repaired to pass the smog test and that it will cost $ about 6000 to repair. I just bought the car and I am a student and I don't have that kind of money right now. So I am stuck in a situation where I can't register my car and I can't get it repaired. I would appreciate it if someone could give me some information.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation.

If smoke is blowing from the engine, the smog will not pass. I think $ 6000 for repairs is fair.

There used to be vendors who would do it for you, but now even Mexican companies don't do it very often because of the stricter penalties and such if they are found out. It is too risky to be shut down for just $100 or so.

I don't even know if it's blowing smoke when I buy it. LOL
I thought you could just replace the catalyst ?
Then it would be $2000 at most to get ripped off.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Don't tell me you're imagining it blowing black smoke like a diesel ? It depends.

16 Ignorant old man
I bought a factory OEM catalytic converter from the dealer last month for $ 1,300 and installed it myself.
I had to ask a mechanic to do it for an additional $250.

#16, catalyst prices are skyrocketing on some models, which is why they are frequently stolen. Especially the bolt-on type was laughably expensive.
Be careful with this car model ↓

↑ Eh ~ and I thought I told you ignorant.
For your information, you can find the price of various repairs at this site. It may cost a fraction of the price, so I suggest you ask your mechanic. The catalytic converter is cut out and welded on.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation.

I went to a muffler shop and they said no aftermarket parts, only OEM.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I don't know much about it, but I'm writing this: 。。。。 My car is a Toyota Prius.
The reason why the smog check did not pass was that there was a problem with the catalytic-converter.
It seems that catalytic-converters can be sold for a very high price for the parts used in them, and that's why the theft of those parts has increased recently. He said that a while ago it was thefts from trucks and such, but recently Prius thefts have been increasing.If the smog check does not pass and the muffler has a stock catalytic-converter, the muffler will be repaired for $300. If it has a non-genuine one, someone said they would repair it for $650. I had been quoted $2 ~ 3,000 at several places because only genuine parts would work. 。。。。
The person works as a mechanic during the week and takes on private repairs at home on the weekends.
He said he would refund my money if the smog check didn't pass and he would issue a receipt
so I trusted him and asked him to do it.
They also issued a receipt. It is still running smoothly.
Please DM me if you need it. I will give you my contact information.
I have received a personal cell phone number, so I probably shouldn't post it here: 。。。。

#28 Ignorance
I see. Thank you for telling me. I don't know much about cars at all.
And I thought I could fix it cheaply, but that's not true ? wrong ?
I went to 4 ~ 5 places before I went to the person who told me that I had to buy parts from Toyota
and that I would have to pay 2500 or 3000. I was getting discouraged because I was told 3,000 、、、、This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I had mine fixed at a repair shop for $ 500. The repair was to cut out the old catalytic converter and put in a new one. Since it is an older car, I don't think there is any need to be concerned about expensive OEM parts.

The engine light bothers everyone,
I inserted a Berryman B-12 into my gas tank and
the light blinking went away and the test passed.

You can buy it on Ebay for $5-6,

BTW, Topix is just saying $ that the repair will cost about $6000, why are you assuming that the catalyst has deteriorated and needs to be replaced ?
There are many more possibilities, such as a transmission failure DTC that causes the MIL to light up and not pass a smog test, etc. There are so many possibilities ?.This text has been translated by auto-translation.
