so my car is here from hawaii, and i was gona leave the hawaii plates on with no intention of getting cali registration until next year when my hawaii one expires! but because my california license is currently suspended because of the 4 points i got... damn ****! my dad insured it under his name, but ofcourse the cars not reg. here so now there gona cancel the insurance policy unless i reg. in cali...

soO i have cobb catless DP, HKS catback carbon ti, and a short ram! last time i checked all these things equal no smog! im guessing the easiest thing is to just buy a stock turbo back... but can i keep the short ram on??

stupid smog test ruining my life! and another thing, is the FMIC gona be a problem or is that kool??

thanx in advance for any advice

4 pts... badass McLovin.

Was that from speeding around the island?

 

if the short ram has a carb sticker (SPT one etc) then you can leave it on. Stock dp I think is all you'll need to pass smog, catback should be okay

 

Yup, +1 on this answer..

 

you just need a stock DP
there was a FS add earlier for a stock sti DP
here ya go

I say just swap back to stock, it's so easy for you. It's not like you have tgv deletes/cams/else mods that make it unfeasible to just pass smog

 

koo thanx guys, and yes the 4 pts are from the island... i was in a hurry to work and the cop got me for excesive speed, reckless driving (i made one lane change) and racing on the free way... umm it was 3pm and there wasnt a soul on the road... cant have mods in hawaii without gettin pwned!!!

 

has anyone passed smog with aftermarket headers? Just curious if they actually look down there.

 

borrow an exhaust and stock intake.

 

I have a stock exhaust off an '07 STi you can have for $50. I think the DP is still attached. Can check if interested.
