Hello all,
Looking to see if anyone with an early MK7, or anyone that registered one from out of state, has experience with Cali smog and DPs? I know there is no CARB certified DP other than stock. I'm aware they don't use a exhaust probe for the most part, it's mainly a visual and ODBII scan. I'm looking at a Neuspeed "No CEL" DP for my GSW and i'm curious if it could pass? I know it depends on tune, I believe APR ignores the downstream 02 which causes a flag; I think you're allowed 1 and still pass, correct? I've read it's a bit of a coin flip if they just see a Cat and pass you or flag you for modified exhaust.
If it's a swap stock DP before inspection that's fine, I'd just like to get a better Idea as I haven't had to smog a car in some years; Aiming for IS20 which I believe can be ran with a stock DP anyhow.
Thanks in advance.
