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

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

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:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=867722

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.

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
