Will a type R pass smog in CA with an AEM intake, JDM type R headers, carsound cat, and Tanabe exhaust?

 

Depends on who smogs the car for you. But if you take it to a legit place, the "header" (not headers) will ruin it for you. You can always try. But if you have all your stock stuff, just throw it on, shouldnt take more than 1-2hours.

If not, you can always get it done for a cost

 

probably not welcome to the world of a 200 dollar smog job now, im sure if you ask a few shops they will be able to tell you where to get your car "smogged" like one of the places where you dont even have to bring in your car to get it done if you catch my drift.

 

either bring it to a crooked asian shop in bolsa, or to any armenian shop in glendale (socal)

 

mm, so i was under the impression that the carsound WOULD pass. i guess not?

 

hmmm..

Edit: I think the exhaust will hurt you too.

CARSOUND cats are Carb legal so it says on the box so with that set up I dont see you having any probs at all unless the internals or messed with

 

It will fail visual due to JDM header.

 

LOL!!! bolsa as in the city of westminster *bolsa is a major street there*

 

oh yah if you have the jdm heat shields for that header it MIGHT pass visual.

my friend got his stock heat shield custom welded onto his DC header...
and passed visual.

 

hahahaha

 

You should pass visual inspection if you have the heat shield. And as far as the exhaust system, they just have to see if it physically passes smog. If you have a carsound cat, it should be fine I would hope.

I have icebox, jdm 4-1, carsound cat, and an apex N1. I hope to pass smog.

 

lets just hope they don't get too **** on inspections. exhaust might fail tho

 

is every header not smog legal?

i have a dc 4-1-1 header and I cleared with no problems.

 

what's a 4-1-1?

 

4-1-1 y0! the newest in JDM powa!

Anyways, some headers are smog legal. The JDM ITR 4-1 is not one of them.

 

They cant fail you for exhuast that has nothing to do with emissions, just noise . As long as your cat is there your coo.

Asked a Smog Tech lol
