I knew the guy doing the smog test so he let me keep the open element on. Would it have a made a difference?
Heres my numbers
15mph- HC=40, CO=.04, NO=272

Like madmax says. The reason they fail visual for an open element is that you have no heat riser tube from the exhaust headers to the air cleaner. That heat riser is only used to warm the air on cold starts.
