1 yr till cali smog check
Hi I was wondering if I can pass a california smog check with the following mods?
injen hard pipes(upper & lower) has C.A.R.B # on them
hsk cat back w/ silencer(blacked out)
3" down pipe
Megan o2
Vishnu re-flash
??????
I still want to add 1000 pte injectors and gsc s2 cams?
then later on an FP hta Green or FP Red???
will adding the cams and injectors cause me to fail a smog test?

if the smog tech has any idea what he's doing, you won't pass the visual with those mods. even though the intercooler setup has a CARB number, it's probably inviting him to search around more thoroughly than on a stock appearing car (hell, the stock evo spoiler might do that). the O2 housing is hard to see if you still have the stock heat shields in place, but the downpipe might be an easy giveaway if it's shiny.

so why have a C.A.R.B sticker if you cant have it???

Smog stations do not have 4 wheel dynometers (rollers is a hip way of saying it); therefore, they are unable to put load on our cars when smog testing. <--- That's good. They take readings at idle and half the rev limit. "FTW" = For the win... is one of the few "acronyms" that I know. Sounds corny if you say it out loud

thanks for filling me in!
what do you think about the cams and injectors...I haven't bought or installed them yet! But I am about 13 months away from this smog test!
