Dont get the damn speed daddy-ebays, love em they were nice for the price but **** i hate changin the #7 plug!

 

I'm not exactly sure yet if I wanna do a cam. I may, but for now just LTs and my CAI so far.

What is this spot check and fine your talking about? I've never herd of this.

 

I was under the impression that Cali had random smog checks...they did when I lived there back in the mid-80's, and I recall another Cali member mentioning them recently. I believe that they can write you a ticket for tampering with emissions equipment or moving the catalysts, and I thought that the fines could be pretty hefty. Not 100% sure though, I live in Jersey

 

We can do Pacesetter LTs/ORY for around $550, but it won't pass emissions.

We'd be looking at around $1495 for a set of Dynatech's w/ 2.5" catted y-pipe.

 

Why would it not pass emissions? Just the visual? I'm no really worried about the visual. Just the sniffer

 

It won't pass visual or sniffer....

 

Why won't it pass sniffer? Should it pass if you truck previously could?

 

Because there is no cats in the pacesetter y-pipe

 

If you took your stock y pipe to an exhaust shop and had them cut it so it can fit with the headers you will be able to pass the sniffer...

Any off road y pipe sold along with the headers however will not pass. I think your best option is to have a y pipe fabbed up for you with stock cats or hi-flow cats so you can still pass emissions.

 

Still won't pass in Cali...you're not allowed to move the cats from their stock location in any way, shape, or form. Unless you get a system that's clearly marked "legal for sale in California", you're out I don't believe that there are any LT systems that are legal in Cali, even the ones with cats...stupid laws IMO...as long as the system can legally pass emissions it shouldn't make a difference, but unfortunately the laws are made by politicians, not automotive engineers or master technicians

IIRC, the ASM headers used to retain the factory y-pipe, it just needed to be hacked up before the cats (which didn't even move from their factory location), and they weren't legal for sale in Cali...
