Went to get smogged so I could get the CA registration. Of course I have a REVI intake and it went in as "Tampered". Aside from the outright STUPIDITY of the people who pass such laws about aftermarket components (REVI is not CARB compliant), if you know of someone in the area who could help me out (I don't have the stock intake), please PM me.

 

I don't think any smog shop would notice revi it looks stock

 

holy crap, they noticed a Revi intake?!
Go elsewhere, most won't notice it.

 

I had mine smogged at a dealer with a REVi and it passed. You must have picked the only smog place on the planet that caught that!

 

I actually had it done at a dealer. Hine Mazda......

 

drive around town and find the shadiest looking gas station / smog center you can find. You'll be fine.

 

You need to remove the Racing Beat sticker.

 

What sticker would that be? As in I don't have any there. There is a logo imprinted on the box.....

 

Problem solved. Went to a shop that considered it to be ok because it was on front of the MAF. And since the Clairemont DMV was open today I have my CA plates.

Hmm, I'm going to miss using my Mass plates. At least until I get my CA Vanity NE PATS plates.......hehehe
