Hey everyone i have a Apex'i N1 exhaust for my 5th gen lude. I was wondering if it would pass smog in Ca if i have no other modifications to my engine. Has anyone tested and passed? I checked the Apex'i website but didn't find anything. Thanks a lot.

 

NO, trade me for my greddy evo and carsound cat.
nah for real i dont know. But i was serious about trading. I want an N1 bad

 

why n1?

 

IMHO i think it looks better and it is what i wanted in the first place, but it was on back order for 7 weeks. I dont care what i sounds like.

 

you will pass the test if your cat is still there.

 

exhaust does not have anything to do with your smog

 

Sorry bro I'm not really interested in any trades. Thanks for the replies.

 

yea, like stated above, your exhaust system should not have anything to do with smog, as long as you got a cat to clean up the exhaust gases you should be good.

 

damn alright man, worth a shot

 

I forgot to mention that it is a full catback exhaust, not just a muffler. would i still pass smog? thanks in advance.

 

it would pass if you took the exhaust off all together. the exhaust has no effect on emissions, just noise...and the temp would be alot higher too I guess. As long as the stock cat is in there emission level should be the same.

btw - does a carsound pass smog in CA?
