CA Emissions & aftermarket parts

d-mac · 10-11-2006, 11:27 PM

Not sure if this has been posted yet anywhere, but I couldn't find it in here. This is a link for the California Air Resource Board (C.A.R.B). Those are the sh$theads that tell us what we can't put on our cars. Anyways the website has an aftermarket parts database that you can search by CARB EO (Executive Order) number. Of note....there are no parts listed for 2006 Si that I have seen yet. Maybe it takes a while to get inputted in data base. I will research further. You can also obtain CARB EO numbers from manufacturers (say like the Greddy bolt on turbo kit) and plug them in their database.

Oh, shit, f that man...who cares...at worst just pull it off for emissions. IMHO the only thing you really need to worry about is fi or internal engine components...cuz they be a biatch to remove...

In fact my last car (98 Acura CL 3.0) had I/H/E (none of it carb legal) and I passed fine, just depends on the place...

My friend has an Evo with the down and straight pipe and on top of that he has cams. He just threw in some extra bucks to the guy to pass him.

**CaliGuy** · 10-12-2006, 12:15 AM

^^^I can't imagine how he accomplished that. There is no way in hell it would pass the sniffer...The only thing you can bs is visual...which works for almost all mods, fi included, but a strait pipe..no way in hell (no cat, no pass). Not calling bs on you man, but I think your buddy is incorrect...It just isnt possible, unless he had another stock evo to put on the dyno...plain and simple

Fact is almost no mod causes more emissions other than a strait pipe or cams, or possibly a refash (depending)....

If you know your rights then you dont have to ... Unless they get a warrant

Your correct to an extent. However, hearing an aftermrket exhaust itself is enough probable cause to open the hood.

Also, I know a cop who was telling me how the cops go to classes to learn all about illegal mods, what they sound like, look like, etc..

***Estrike*** · 10-13-2006, 01:49 AM

So what happens if you get caught??? I heard you just get a fine here in CA, granted it was about $600...

fa1 · 10-14-2006, 12:17 AM

I'm weak when they pressure you

.

The fines really depend on what's on your car which can range from just fix-it tickets to having it checked by a certified inspector.

Most likely just a cheap fix-it ticket. Unless you got a real asshole cop that wants to screw you as hard as possible.

ASSALBERT · 12-20-2006, 08:58 PM

running catless in socal isnt as bad as it is in norcal although lately the cops here are starting to get on cars without cats. depending on the prick that pulled you over, they have the right to impound your car if you dont have a cat and take it to the state ref. i have some friends who welded the heatshield of a cat onto their piping somehow and others just have a resonator and say thats the cat. and when the cop smells the fumes, say that the cat is probably blown. i dont even risk the fine and run a cat w/ shorty header, cuz the fine can range anywhere from $1000-$10000 depending on the extent of mods from wut i hear.

This is why they call it a hook up source. I can get any car to pass. Costs
some $$ though

The only way I know to get this done is to have a doner stock version of the same model. Scan the vin to the modded car, put the sniffer in the stock car and let run.

Will the Vibrant Header with the Cat pass California?
