tranny doesnt matter but the ecu does, it needs to be the same as the motor. and teh dc header needs to have a carb stamp

The tranny shouldn't matter, but u will need all your sensors in place and all the vacuum lines linked up! U might wanna do a search, it could help

the exhaust should be fine if you didnt get a ticket for it. when u go to the state ref to bar the motor, raise your car up so it will clear the dyno. some you have to drive up a ramp

yeah i didnt get a tix for the exhaust but im running a straight pipe right now. and was wondering if i did the custom 2.25 wid high flow cat would i pass state ref?

WhtHatchBack

would a custom 2.25 inch piping and high flow cat wid 3 inch magna flow pass state ref?

honestly this is wut i heard....anything that wasnt made for the car such as a high flow cat wont pass on inspection unless it has a carb number..so it the cat has a carb number on it i think it should be fine and as far as the custom exhaust it should be fine wut matters is the cat and all the other emission ****..such as o2 sensors

He could get you for the noise from the car. Play it safe and turn everything back to stock

my piping is too small cuz its stock 97 civic hatchback exhaust and its restricting the air flow. ill probali do stock cat and header wid magna flow and 2 inch piping?

wat part of cali u from??? i noe one in southern ca, that the ref dun care about the noise, as long as everythin must be there, sensor, vacum line, ecu then ur fine, im not sure bout the high flow, but as long as it got carb number on it, ur fine

even if you dont pass, they tell you everything they need and i heard someone say b4 if you dont pass the first the next time is free. but i am not positive...

The ref could care less about how loud your exhaust is unless your going there for an exhaust ticket. If you have an exhaust ticket then theyll test you and if you dont pass its a pretty high fine. Heres my review on the exhaust test:

The DC header should have a carb number and should be fine.

Your motor needs to be same year or newer of your car.

Make sure all your smog equipment is hooked up correctly.

If you have more questions search for your answers.

make sure you have the right ecu

stop sittin there and askin and let them take a look, they not gonna give u a fine or anythin, if u dun pass, they will tell u wat u need to get/change in order to pass...i went there bak and forth total of 4 times to get that stupid lil sticker

btw, it not really free, if u dun pass, it 30buk, then 8.25 buk more if u pass the second time...if u dun the second time, then it free but the 3rd time will be 38.25 if u pass and 30 buk if u dun pass and so forth

the thing is i dont have enuff money. i got everything done besides the exhaust system. i dont wanan pay for it and it doesnt pass that will be a waste of 250$. im located in san jose right now but im moving down south in 1 month in fullerton. thanks for helping

dtran002

o ok, if u gonna move to fullerton, dun take ur car to the ref in fullerton college, he is more strict...he might hit u hard for the sound...go to golden west college...he doesnt care...and since u dun have money, dun bother take it to the ref unless u got pull over and the cop make u...

WhtHatchBack

yeah i did get pulled over
