RPI exhaust smog question

RedDotRacer · 03-26-2013, 09:55 PM

Any CA guys with the rpi exhaust setup ever had issues passing ca smog? Car is essentially stock except for a tune and the rpi. Thanks for any input!

Cans don't affect smog at all, carry on.

WHS +1. However, try to bring it to a more "mod friendly" shop cause some might give you a hard time (mostly due to the loudness). For the record, i have Super Sprints Race cans with X-pipe ( plus the Afe intake) and the shop didn't care

I think your question should be about the tune, not your muffler. The tune, can affect smog.

Yeah I agree with finding a "mod friendly" shop, ask around what your buddies use that have some questionable mods. I just had my car smogged and my exhaust system is blatantly aftermarket and the shop I went to didn't say a word (but then again I've been going to them for years).

I also have the evolve tune and it didn't give any problems at all.

Thanks guys. Car has the Active tune. The car was smogged before with the tune and stock mufflers and passed fine when I bought it. Sounds like it should be good.

Update here. Car just passed smog with the rpi and active tune as everyone thought. Thanks again
