Does anyone have an aftermrket catted x pipe in California that was able to pass smog? I'm looking to get one but am wondering if it'll pass smog in CA with the strict emissions out here

I don't live in Cali, but I know "ain't nobody got time for that!!!" in Cali unless you got somebody you know

On my old gt I had a bassani catted x pipe and passed with no problems

Im in Cali (bay area) and my gt had a bassani catted x on it when I bought it. You have to smog a car in Cali when changing owners and my car passed just fine when I got it. I have heard they don't always pass though..

Yeah I heard some don't pass smog even with aftermarket cats on them.. I might as well put an off road x and change it two years from now since I'm smogging my car tomorrow

Ive thought about getting an o/r x pipe also, but its risky in CA with all these stupid laws. Speaking of x pipes, i got pulled over by CHP last night because my exhaust was "too loud." I don't even have an o/r mid pipe lol. First time thats ever happened

 

[Venomouz831]

Yea just swap out whenever you need to pass smog. That's what I did

It's the end of the month, cops will get you for the littlest things to hit their monthly quotas haha.. But yeah just swap it out when it comes o smog it..

That's what I plan on doing too since a catted one probably wouldn't pass smog here in Cali anyway.. Do the x pipes bolt right on or is there welding that needs to be done? I currently have Flowmaster 10s on my car so that setup would probably sounds amazing!

They bolt right up easy 15 min installation

I was cruising at 70mph right in the drone range and the cop pulled me over saying my exhaust was way too loud. He looked under the car and saw 2 cats so I was good to go haha

Dam that's crazy!!! I'm hoping when I go o/r the resonators I plan on welding in can trick cops into thinking there cats! Haha.

Do what I'm going to do, I'm going to get an O/R prochamber and bolt it on myself on jack stands and save the stock midpipe, that way in 2 years (my car was just smogged before I got it) I can just swap midpipes and be good for smog. You could do the same thing for the x pipe

Off topic, but OP are you going to the MM&FF car show at Sacramento Raceway on April 14th?

Yes... we have the same problems here in Germany... :-(
My Magnaflow mufflers are too loud for our strict laws...

Yeah I have to smog my car soon and maybe after I'll get an o/r x for it.. But probably not.. I don't really go to those kind of things.. I just do local car meet ups and cruises
