Anyone want to let me borrow their stock gti downpipe for my smog in two years? I'll compensate, obviously.
Technically 4, D-660-37 from COBB stg1.just an update, I reached out to IE support and they confirmed stage 1 is carb certified. CARB EO D-838-3. that makes 3 with APR and 034.
2015 and got the renewal today. I purchased the car in 2016 thougha '15 will meet the 8 year requirement so probably this year.
Yup. The Evolution is not CARB exempt. It's been a long time since I've smogged a modified car. Didn't expect them to be so thorough.
This guy was very detailed. He pulled up the intake online to confirm that it's not CARB exempt. He found an online picture of the stock downpipe and showed me what it looks like. He stated that there was no 2nd cat on my downpipe and showed me that the Readiness check failed. I asked for clarification on that but he didn't know. He just said I was tuned but I think he was guessing. I was worried that even flashing back to stock wouldn't work. Since it passed, I'm theorizing that it was just a readiness check.
Good to know that the OBD11 can check for readiness.
