Alright this is my first time with them. I would like to know everyone person experience with them. What do they do? How much do you gotta pay? What if you fail their inspection? What were your mods??? Where was your inspection located at? I really need everyone feedback that have experience with them before. The pig took a picture of my engine bay. I was wondering am I allow to alter the changes? Like fix the open filter (breather filter at crankcase)??? My mods are aem cai, dc 4-1 header, apexi catback n1 (do i need to put the silencer on?) b&m fpr, b&m fuel pressure gauge, advance timing 18°, magnecor 8.5mm spark plug wires, and apexi vafc. Do I need to remove any of these mods for inspection???? If so, which mods do I need to remove or which mods can I keep?? Keep in mind they took a picture of my whole engine bay so can I be able to remove anything before the inspectionn date??? I'm located in San Diego CA anyone know a close state ref place? Thanks for all great help I really appreciate all feedbacks
you should be ok...and i'd put the silencer on just in case they check the decibels and try and say that you are over the limit...everything you have on there is fine and shouldn't make your car fail the test as long as you have the stock cat on your car still...i've heard of people failing this test with the racing catylitic converter so becareful if you are in the market for that...and also...make sure you know your laws so that they can't try and f*ck you over and tell you that your car is in violation when it's not...good luck
CA would probably be more strict than most states because of higher emission standards. I recommend going to an inspection station outside of town, they tend to not care as much, well in Louisiana anyway
nah I am right there with you. I gues it has something to do with emmisions/noise law compliance as tested by a cop on the street (aka fix it ticket)
