so cop wants me to go to state referee for smog check.....
Here is my Qs.
I hab Injen CAI and Greddy SP exhaust.
Do you guys think i can pass the smog check??
or i need to put all stock parts back on and get smog check??
I juss wanna knoe i can pass the smog check with ma intake n exhaust
because i made an appointment next Wednesday.....
Thanks!!

 

Good luck at the state referee. Been there and done that.

My advice is that you take off anything that is not California legal. This is not just a regular smog check. Yes, they'll smog it but they'll also give a very thorough visual inspection. When I went they didn't make a big deal with my exhaust but did give a hard time with my headers and fuel pressure regulator. Everything else I removed and replaced with stock parts. This wasn't on my G.

Long story short, I never passed and after going to court a few times, the judge just made me pay a fee. One reason I haven't mod my G yet.

Where did you get pulled over? Fremont had a motorcycle cop that would only pull over modify cars. Daly City cops would also pull you over for any little thing.

Good luck.

 

In my opinion, i would recommend removing all aftermarket parts because they are really picky at the state ref. Its a big hassle if you fail, plus expensive of all the fees etc.

 

Where did you get pulled over? I haven't been pulled over yet for no front plate/tinted windows in Daly City but then again, I haven't really ran into a cop yet.

 

In SanJose area......
cops pulled me over twice in 15min juss for tinting window......

 

If you ran into a cop, you're getting more than a ticket. More like a beating LAPD style.

 

Damm i got pull over for the same freaking Reason when i was in SJ.. tint,exhaust,intake... i took out the intake an swap back to stock.. for the exhaust i put a SILENCER and i pass! Btw i was in my 2001 Celica Gt

 

What is the tint percents on your car they pulled you over for in San Jose?

 

20% on every windows..

 

Lets hear it for proppers pelling

 

I know that Injen was working on getting they're CAI CARB certified, but I don't know if they ever completed the process. I agree with the others that said to just put your stock intake back in for the smog check. Play it safe.

PS - 20% on the side windows screams "Pull me over!!!" to every cop within a 10 mile radius.

 

Is the Injen CAI legal. I know the K&N ones and the AEM ones are. I doubt the Injen one is. I would say replace the CAI with the stock air box just to be safe. Your exhaust should have no problem.
