Just because it is using one of the parts it doesn't automatically mean it's also under the same umbrella

Smog shops are not dumb. There's a reason why they are in business and make money. They hear a car with a loud exhaust driving in they know what's up. I don't have to do it for a while but will need to start looking at a place that will pass me. I'm going to where DE.50 and Waizz recommends. The problem CA has is enforcement. Too many cars, too many smog shops, some in bad neighborhoods for them to effectively oversee. They can do randoms but that is not effective to check on compliance. You should find another one. Being conservative here I think one in 5 shops will take you. Passing you is another story.

It's cheaper to have a pro take your intakes off and reinstall them. Unless you wanna go to THE ghetto.

where are you? I'll do/help you swap it

it needs to be smogged on change of ownership after that you won't need to smog for the rest of the 5 years unless you sell it. dealers are not required to smog a vehicle pre sale but the must cover the needed repairs if it doesn't pass so if you bought it from a dealer(with the intake on it) tell them what happened and most likely they will smog it for you or fix it because it is still illegal for them to sell a vehicle that doesn't meet emissions. if you bought it private party your best route is to find a more lenient shop or sue/talk to the seller.

Stock intake, $50 and a few minutes of your time. Seems pretty simple to me.

Damn sorry to hear this bro. Hit me up Rocky, ill swap my stockers with you for the test. Can anyone chime in how long he needs to drive the car for the ecu to readjust before going in for testing? Or can we just simply pull he neg. on battery to reset the ecu and go.

Lol
I was gonna say just use mine, swap it then swap back.

And 50 miles or so for the ECU to not come up as "just reset" which will make you fail.



If you need to swap because ZBrah is a bastard
Shoot me a text, I can drive down tonight (31O ) eight nine three -42O7
