even if it has a carb sticker it wont pass smog. trust me ive tried it and wasted 50 bucks. just keep your stock one for when you smog it then switch it out.

Re: Header = no passing emissions????? (Imp-tuner)
I'm running a no name 4-1 header on my d16y7 with a 2.5 exhaust and I passed smog. I have to admit I did know the guy but all he did was put on a 2inch catalytic converter and told me to drive the car around for 20 mins, then he put it on the machine WITHOUT shutting car car off and did the smog. I passed with flying colors.
