But then again, I am not exactly sure if this is true or not. I am guessing if you tried to tell them you didn't want to do it, that they could then search you and your car?
Seems like a can of worms to me.
I would hope a newer model car with mods would still be able to pass, but who knows..

If the car has a downpipe installed removing the catalytic converter, it will not pass this test, new or old.
They've been doing the mobile tests for years now. I have even heard of stations that do not stop you, but rather point some sort of gun/sensor at the rear of your car. Some people reported getting letters in the mail saying they needed to have their cars smogged after passing these sorts of stations. Then again, this was all heard on the internet but considering this is California, I don't doubt it.
