Need Help Passing Emissions in southern cali

[lemmez]

I'm looking to get scion tc headers for my solara se and i found out that they are not street legal and will not pass emissions. does anyone that lives around southern cali have a shop that i can just pay them to pass me? If i can pass the smog check, i will purchase these headers and be the test subject for these headers.

Below are the headers i want. Makes 13.4Hp and 6.4TQ with JUST THE HEADER.

for all you weapon r haters. Weapon R is not bad, ive been reading all the scion forum reviews and so far this was the best one.

off topic. I currently have the secret weapon r intake and my ass dyno felt a gain at the high end rpms. Compared to the injen intake, most of the reviews i read for it was that it made a great sounding noise but no power gains.

My car was shipped here in 03, dont they go off that date?

I don't think i can use tacti headers because im a 5sfe and hes a auto - 2 different engines. is that correct?

your car is an 04 purchased in 04 right

your a 2az not a 5s

the 5s was in the 99-01

02-08 was 2az

You've just discovered the reason cat back systems are so popular in California. With only a few exceptions any exhaust change in front of the cat is illegal and you'll fail the emissions test.

The good news is you can just bolt your original headers/exhaust system on get tested then go back to your aftermarket headers for the next two years. If you threw your OEM headers in the trash just head for a local wrecking yard and get what you need.

I think THIS is the answer you're look for!

Try giving him a PM - sounds like he may have a lead!

thanks guys

Krawzyazn was right i have 1 more year to go but i actually found out that my mechanic does smog test also . So far with the headers/exhaust/intake i doubt i will be able to pass a smog check.

headers = fail no cat

I still need a place to smog willing to pay $150
