Ca state ref

jaedub

And you wouldn't have to pay any fines if you swap it back to stock. It's basically a major fix it ticket. Just a $25 court fee and $100+ ref testing fee. Nothing else.

Just for having a CBE? How did that happen?

wanker

Where there's your issue. Test pipes are illegal in CA, period. You cannot remove, modify of alter your OEM catalytic converters.

California sucks... but then why are so many vendors located there?!! Open up shops in florida!

@aznjay83 did you install your test pipes yourself or did you find a shop to do it for you?

Aznjay83

Shop did it

Klcarp1

Could you tell me what shop did the install? I have motordyne art pipes that I'm trying to get installed, but none of my local shops will touch them. Damn feds have them all scared straight

Aznjay83

I got them done at unique in Rancho Cucamonga. If that's too far try 9k in Whittier

Haboob

Fuuuuuck that Nazi state.

Though, I don't know if I will pass emissions in AZ with my HFC's. Probably, but I'll probably get rid of the car before I even have to do emissions.

Cali sucks? Nowhere nearly as much as Fl.

That's probably why they don't open their shops there.

I'd just as soon lose a nut than ever go back to ida

If you read the CA emission code, you can't modify exhaust for any reason even if is below 95 decibel. So yeah.....any aftermarket exhaust is illegal in CA.

RumbleFish

I've run AM exhaust on just about every car I've ever owned and, I've never had a problem passing a smog check for having one. Even with AM headers.

Now, hi-flo cats? That's another story.

Passing the smog check has nothing to do with being legal. Once you swap any part of the exhaust with an aftermarket, it's illegal whether you pass the smog test or not.

Breadz

Passing smog is the only thing that matters. Cats cant be modified but anything past them doesn't matter

Currently smogging my brothers supra, Failed the first time because the tech didn't understand that cars older then 1995 can have any air intake setup aslong as it keeps "emission controls", Failed second time because they made me wait over an hour and the cats were cold, Failed third because CEL came on.

Had to take off the methanol injection kit and add cats because california. My Z pulls harder than it now.
