California Emissions

I took my friends car yesterday to get smogged because he just had knee surgery, well he passed all emmisions test but not the visual inspection, he failed because he modified the intake, now what kind of shit is that, the car passed the emissions test but not the visual that is alot of bullshit fuck cali

that sucks, what did he do to the intake?

He has a 5.0 tbi and all he did was take the old intake with the snorkel and put a open air filter that's it, i explained it to the man that gm offered the same intake, he said if it said gm he would have passed it but since it said edelbrock , he considered the intake modified,

how gay, cali needs to have a big ass quake that breaks them away from the rest of the country and sinks them into the ocean.

Or we could revolt and all just fart at the same time...EMISSIONS TEST THAT BITCH!

cali is full of dickhead liberals.

I live in cali and that is down right wrong whats strange to me is that edelbrocks factory is in CALIFORNIA!!!! what the hell is going on here!!!!

thats why you shoild only drive pre emissions cars like mine :D

what was the year again????? maybe I should grab one to like that 1970 camaro

cali is full of dickhead liberals.

I'm a hardcore "dickhead liberal" and I live in Cali...guess I better not ever buy a Camaro.

yea your right

the emissions legal is i think 25 years old. atleast it is in va.

ps - i hate tree hugging hippies!!!

Dmfd

is edelbrock doing anything about this???? vic do something!!

cali emissions suck and so do fucking mass emissions they both are queer, i hate tree huggers

yea but this case has nothing to do with his emissions its the visual that ticks me off

you should buy a cheap piece of shit trailer and put it in the trashiest trailer park you can find in another state, declare residency there, tag there and still live in cali, then you don't have to worry about the damn emissions.

there cracking down on that to what i hear

i va, you can only have a vehicle that is registered out of state in va for 90 days...

It does not matter who the manufacturer is of the intake manifold, the inspector is wrong. What matters is if the after market manifold meets the C.A.R.B. standard, if there is no C.A.R.B. number on it, it is not legal to use in the state of California.

This applies to parts AFTER the MAF, and BEFORE the cats. If your vehicle is an 00 to 02 Camaro, you must have the IAT sensor, and the AIR hose attached to the aftermarket lid.

The California smog setup is all a closed loop, no breathers allowed.

If you are a resident of another state with a driver's license from another state, then va cannot make you change your plate. Only if you are a resident of va and cannot declare residency anywhere else

oh well yeah, i didnt know we were going through the trouble of getting a new liscence and stuff. i was just sayin is all...

what does C.A.R.B stand for?? and its just intake how does that produce smog??

google it , but ya 1974 and earlier , thats why i want a 70-73 camaro so badd

hope you get it.... but now this thing has got me thinking about get a pre smog car as well one thing I hate about living in cali is this!!!!

oh ya california is the worse state possible to have a hotrod , everything is illegal , if and you do it anyway and get pulled over and they find it they'll take your car wack ass shit get a 70 camaro , or you can do it , i mean there are 50state legal mods

what kind of engine can you put in the 70 camaro i dont much about them but they look cool

what does C.A.R.B stand for?? and its just intake how does that produce smog??

It stands for California Air Reliablity (or Resource) Board.

It is a panel that is state sanctioned that comes up with the standards that must be met for automobile manufacturers, and aftermarket auto parts manufacturers to sell there wares in the state of California.

If you look at the bottom of the pages of "Jegs" or "Summit" catalogs it sometime states:

"Some parts on this page are illegal for sale in the state of California".

Other parts advertized will say "C.A.R.B. legal".

What people need to understand is when something is stated "50 state legal" they are reffering to meeting "Federal standards", the item MAY not meet state standards, especially in California.

IMHO, California standards will be adopted nation wide sooner or later, it's only a matter of time.

You can sometimes get by Mass emissions if you tell them your motor is pre-1982. Sometimes they want proof, but usually they don't care. From my experience, they don't care about things like Edelbrock intakes and stuff, unless you happen to live in an uptight part of Mass...

wow so how these import guys would they be in trouble???

the rule is 30 years in california. so as of now 1974 back
