Anyone have a stock intake & TBE I can borrow or buy?

Shipped my car here from Florida and it has turboback exhaust and a cold air intake, so I need to go back to stock for the time being so I can pass smog...could anyone help me out please? Happy to pay for the rental. Never had to go through smogging before so I am a little paranoid.

I am in Redwood City but I can meet you

For those curious, my current mods are
BPM GT 3" TBE - catless
APS 70mm CAI - not carb legal
Perrin Turbo Inlet

I don't know about your area, but here there are places that would pass you with only the stock DP.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have a 3" turboback exhaust so I don't think it will fit up properly...how would you recommend I deal with that?

If your DP is catted and they dont really care about the visual inspection then you will pass the sniffer test. Just make sure your intake is CA carb legal with sticker, which most are. Or they will probably fail you for that as far as visual inspection goes.

My exhaust is catless, and my intake is not CARB legal. Bought all this stuff many years ago in Florida (no smogging), and if I could do it all over again obviously I'd go catted + CARB intake... but I'm not in that situation unfortunately

There are several ways to adapt the stock downpipe to the 3" CBE. Gimspeed sells an adapter which is always good to have.
As for the intake, the stickers shouldn't really matter if you find a shop that's lenient with the visual.

We have loaner DP's if you want to make the drive out. We can usually get it swapped and have you smogged same day.
