Anyone in cali ever tried to smog with one of these installed?? Esp if your in the bay area, thanks any info on smog problems with these cai's are welcomed

 

was buying a car with a JLT intake and x pipe/cat backs, it does not pass smog and options were to pay guy off to pass smog or take everything to pass then put back on. problem is i dont know if x pipe was o/r or not but in short i didnt buy it once they told me id have to pay an extra 1000$ to replace that stuff =x

 

yea last time i emailed JLT they told me it doesn't come with a C.A.R.B sticker. The only CAI that has paid emissions is K&N. Only one i have found so far.

 

You will probably not pass visual, depending on how thorough the tester is. I was lookin at your mod list, and again, depending on how thorough the guy is with the visual (and how well he knows mustangs) you will not pass with a catted X pipe either. (Visual, again) Ca. sucks. I have looked into replacing the cats with a single high flow unit on each side, and was told by multiple sources it is illegal to do so. YMMV. Good luck with it.

 

Ya, CA blows for smog.

 

I think C&L passes Smog.... But i'm not 100% sure.....


But yea Cali blows with smog and emissions..... Thats why Southern States are the best!
