Yes sir. It's part of the reason why I'm not really messing with the car as much as most people. I just don't want to deal with the hassle later.

I have been reading that CA smog for newer cars won't have a sniffer anymore, just OBD2 reading. Supposedly changed this year. http://www.bar.ca.gov/80_BARResource...esentation.pdf http://www.the370z.com/southern-cali...-1-2013-a.html Quote:
Where's the header made? Here in NorCal or elsewhere?

Yeah this is great news, but unfortunately it's still up to the discretion of the shop. I had my 2007 tC smogged earlier this year in March and they still used a sniffer in the exhaust pipe.

Yes. You'll need some camber and quarter panel rolling.

I think the shops have some time to change equipment/procedures but eventually they will apply this to all newer cars. It's just easier for them so it wouldn't make sense to do more work. Or we could start a list/db of local shops that do the OBD2-only test.

I have had to tighten my grim speed mount once about 3 months after installed. Then I torqued the shit out of it and its been good ever since beyond when I hit it crooked myself. Our fenders are already rolled I'm pretty sure. |
