well if they passed than the smog techs did an incomplete smog inspection and if they get caught they will have massive fines and lose their license. the cars that passed can also theoretically be recalled and may have to go to a ref for a complete inspection.

look as long as the cats arent bad and your motor has been kept up then you should be fine. just go to the same people who smogged your friends mustangs.
