Headers on a 2.7 anyone in Ca using them?

[Fletcher]

Anyone have this mod in california and still passing smog? Any check engine lights? The headers remove the pre-cats right? Performance benefits? :rolleyes:

I checked into it, and supposedly it needs to have a stamp on it, stating it passed "California Air Resources Board" [CARB.]

My question is how are they [smog guy's] going to get down there to look for it, I don't know about you, but your lucky if they open the engine compartment.

Unless they put it on a lift, there is no filling station "smogger" who has any idea what to look for under the Boxster.

The only thing that would "Rat" on you would be the OBD II.

:rolleyes: IMO-

If you pretest and pass you should be good to go.

I am told that the S-Car -Go headers will pass the pipe test but obviously not the visual. I just don't want any cil to deal with.
