Just wanted to let everyone know that is it very possible to pass their inspection with mods. At the time of inspection I had;

Greddy Evolution 2 Cat Back
Greddy SUS Headers
AEM Cold Air Intake
MSD Coil Pack

It passed at 96.0db. It would have been a lot lower if my car wasn't missing so much which is a problem I'm trying to hunt down right now.

Just thought I'd share.

Damn, you guys need a referee to pass emissions, lol. Funny Cali people.

Cool! Good info :thumbsup

All of that is CARB exempt though correct? Except the coil (I think), but I dont think they care about that.

I have actually been known to cause cancer in the state of California.

LMAO. When my gf's dad and I were building our 73 Porsche, we always joked about how the labels on EVERYTHING said "known to cause cancer in the state of California". From air tool cut-off wheels to denatured alcohol to friggin gojo hand cleaner. That quote cracks me up.

Yeah California is way out there with all these crazy rules. But then again, living in LA county and seeing all the smog, I can understand why. Like this EGR, I'm so tempted to remove it but it just doesn't seem worth it especially in this state.

Yes everything is CARB except the coil. They are pretty detailed with the check though. They check for the CAT, CARB numbers, body damage, oil, tires, brakes, etc. I'm surprised they didn't ask me what color my walls are at home lol.

I needed a ref because I got pulled over for my exhaust being too loud which was bs but whatever. A Greddy Evo 2 being loud at freeway speeds? It practically sounds stock.

Yea, if you simply put BBQ black paint on the exhaust, I'm sure the cop never would have "heard" you. The red paint probably doesn't help either

Hey, thanks for the tip Erik. I've had a couple CHP following me over the last week alone. Not sure what they're looking at but if I change lanes they do too and follow for a minute.
