have to get my 04 ralliart smogged this year and im wondering if the magnaflow rr catback is going to be a problem? and should i put back on my original air box and take the RR cai off?

 

I'm in nova scotia and we have an MVI (motor vehicle inspection) here. Basically checks brakes and fluids and emmissions and stuff every two years. I have a cat on mine and to pass, had to get a muffler put on and the straight pipe removed. not nearly as loud now and I have no resonator so it's a bit tinny when revved really high, but that should go away and already has a bit. They gave me the part back and said I could put it back on but it would need to be changed when it goes for MVI in another 2 years lol.

I have a short ram and it's fine. I don't think the cai would be a be problem for emissions. I would just take it to a station to check it and see whether it fails or passes then do the work if required and get the cert.

 

I'm guessing he means California, not Canada.

 

I saw he's from sacramento but I looked at the califormia emissions check page and it seems like they check for the same stuff we do. Some places in canada don't require a check like NS. Just thought I'd give my 2 cents. I still say just take it in....if it gets rejected, just get the work done and approved.
