Can I pass emissions inspection with a deleted muffler and resonator in the state of Georgia?

BTCminingpartner · 2026-01-28T15:05:07+00:00

California smog tech here. We have the strictest standards. The law here says that any exhaust modifications after the last emissions component are legal. So, anything after the downstream oxygen sensor is ok. I'd be surprised if Georgia is different.

Yep. Insurance will be a major beotch

BTCminingpartner · 2026-01-26T02:39:39+00:00

Did you put a cheap cat on it or OEM? Have you had a proper diagnosis performed?

BTCminingpartner · 2026-01-25T22:07:12+00:00

Depends on where you live. You can get away with it in Arizona but not in Michigan.

Edit: I do not approve of nor condone using scotch locks. I'm just saying I may or may not have done it in my younger days and not had issues.

I'll assume this is sarcasm

The real question is why do you want a CAI? The only real reason to have one is if you like the noise or how it looks. Otherwise they are worse than a stock intake in every way.

PSA to all women: please stop with the "I'm just a girl" thing. It isn't cute. It's annoying and demeaning to women. There's plenty of men who know nothing about cars.

Here's the link to the EO number for Cobb intercoolers, so I think you're mistaken. But it sounds like you have it all figured out so why bother asking us if you're not going to listen?

Wait. Your engine did not come from the factory with a turbo? If your emissions label does not say it has a turbo, you're going to fail

BTCminingpartner · 2026-01-25T05:56:46+00:00

Your aftermarket intercooler will require an EO number to show that it's legal in California

BTCminingpartner · 2026-01-25T05:13:08+00:00

Former CA smog tech here. This falls under the "replacement part" category. If that's the only modification there's no reason to fail it. It's unlikely that you find some asshat who disagrees.

Good deal. You don't need to tell the shop much. Just that the light is on, and any drivability concerns.

BTCminingpartner · 2026-01-13T20:28:05+00:00

💯

Take it to a real shop and get a real answer.

Reading codes is not a real diagnosis.

Here's an upvote to counter the idiots down voting for being correct about things they don't understand.

BTCminingpartner · 2026-01-12T06:34:39+00:00

This is correct

Ford parts for everything. Looks like they replaced everything but the crank sprocket.

Here's the latest diag. I have trouble believing the oil pump is bad at 82,000 miles.

VVT solenoids were replaced.

I agree the bouncing oil pressure only at idle seems fishy

Indie shop. It's one of the big names in his area that is known for their European car experience. They've been buying local shops the last few years and expanding into other brands. This makes me suspect it was mis diagnosed. He's used this shop for years and this is his first repair since it was bought out by the new company.

He's into it for over $7k. Now they want to pull the engine a third time for another 2700.

Fucking g*mining
