im always confused about the fmic.. its not OEM for our cars.. are there carb legal ones for subaru?

Then I thought there was an issue with having to remove the bumper beam as well?

Is this the 400whp wrx? Must be one hell of a td04....or the vf34.

Can't have any CEL's if you wanna pass smog.

the cel's go away when i clear them on my Cobb AP. but they ALWAYS come back within say 100-200 miles sometimes due to the tgv deletes and o2sensor (dont think i plugged them back in yet when i put my stock dp back on) if i bringit in to a legit smog station right after i clear the cel's with my cobb ap, the check engine lights will all be off. will the smog tech try to **** with my tune or cobb ap or plug it in or reset it or anything? i could see the cel coming right back on if he messed with the ap. and i sold my vf34 today i put my td04 back on.

I'm not sure if the AP resets some of the run/drive/key cycles but if they do then you won't pass.

Ya im pretty sure that even if he had completed a full drive cycle and the CEL light wasnt on, there would be pending DTCs that would fail him.
