My somg certification is due next month. Is a cold air intake or plenum spacer a problem during smog check?

 

Maybe & yes. The Intake if it's a injen it's CARB certified. the spacer is a prob. put your stock parts back on....

 

Thanks, I have the Nismo CAI, no sticker. Whats the problem with the spacer, visual?

 

hey wes, yeah teh spacer might be a problem. i know state ref looks for them, but i do not think most corner shop smog places will bother. most smog places wotn take ur cover off too look for one. but if u want to be save come by my house i will take it off for you if u need help.

 

JWT pop charger is also C.A.R.B. certified.
Check http://www.arb.ca.gov/homepage.htm

Maybe it's there..

 

Thanks for the info and help. I may take you up on your offer Kris.

 

i thought routine smog shop cert is just a tailpipe sniff - no visual anything.
state ref - well ofcourse that's a whole diff ball of grease !!

 

^^^ they do if they go by the book and wanna be an azz hat.

if u need help just let me know wes. i will pm u with some info.

 

You mean if they do the job they are required to do? So that the children of the future don't have to grow up with Emphysema and Asthma? That does it. I'm calling Erin Brockovich on you!

 

go ahead she has big boobies!

 

Wes No one on this planet gives a **** about your spacer or ur CAI. So don't worry about it unless you boost. An I'll even buy u diner if u don't pass big boy

 

If your CAI came with a CARB sticker, I'd sport that. Most independent shops won't hassle taking off plenum cover when they do visual. Every independent shop I've gone to with my older vehicles do basic visuals before sniffing. It's their license on the line if they don't. My 02.
