Would this setup pass smog?
 

does anybody here have the same air filter setup as mine? just wanted to know if this would have a problem passing smog? I took it to test smog shop but the guy pop the hood and said he could not even test it because i have to have a sticker for it, i bought the car from a dealer about 2 months ago they did the smog and it pass but im just worried when i do the smog in two years ill have problems any thoughts ? thanks

Is CA really that fuckin crazy? That's the wrong side of the equation. How could you possibly fail emissions testing on the intake side?

**edit** I guess so... those practically are stock :shakes head:

Buy a used set of stock intakes and you'll be fine.

As long as thats the only engine related mod you've got.


JARblue,

Here they do a visual inspection and if they see anything non oem they can fail it.

Ca is very strict with no carb stickers. If you where to get pulled and had no carb stickers you could and can be towed. I have stock oem boxes that I am willing to ship and sell. Let me know if interested ($80.00 shipped) or you can pick up im in sac/fol.

As Trips pointed out, CA is insanely strict with its smog inspections.

FYI, a CA smog inspection includes 3 steps: checking the emissions from the exhaust; checking the engine timing; and a visual inspection of the intake and exhaust system. (All you non-CA residents can mock us, but many states are being to adopt the more stringent CA standard, so be forewarned.)

Unless you have a CARB sticker any changes to the air intakes will fail your inspection. Yet another reason the Stillen CAI are very popular. All their mods are CARB certified.

ok i also have catback exhaust with no mufflers but my y pipe is stock with stock cats would that be ok?

Your good on exhaust as long as cats are there and no check engine lights.

You have a shot ram. Should be quick to swap back the stock boxes.

is that setup lol?

Take it to another shop, there are several who refuse to test you with intakes but you can find others who will look the other way

Your location says San Jose and this is the Socal subforum so I can't offer you a shop to go to but if you're in Socal I can suggest somewhere

Moved to the North Cal Region.
