From what I've read from other people Euro headers and Euro section 1 will pass the tailpipe but Euro headers and modified US section 1 aren't quite up to CA standards.

Visual inspection may get you, even if you pass sniffer test. It's all dependent on how knowledgeable and close the tester looks. If your install is well done and looks "clean" and "factory" you stand a better chance of passing the visual than an install with obvious aftermarket racer mods. In theory all shops inspect using the same criteria, the reality is sometimes otherwise.

This same setup have passed smog many many times at a smaller shop near my work! Check around with the local car enthusiasms, they might give you some really good recommends of mods friendly smog shops. |

Thanks guys. The intake is obvious. Most BMW enthusiasts wouldn't notice the difference between euro headers and stock headers. Mostly concerned about the sniffer before I sell some remaining stuff.
Thanks for the help. |

I found a place operated by total rubes.
They open the hood, scratch their head, shrug their shoulders, and close it up. Passed easily with stock headers and RE catless midpipes. I'll never go anywhere else.

What do u mean by euro section 2? I don't think there is such a thing. Section 1 are the euro cats. Section 2 is the Y pipe.
