Do you always need to SMOG the car to be able re-register it (my 96 cobra has been in Non-op status for almost 2 years)?<br /><br />How picky are the people SMOGing cars these days?<br />I currently have stock exhaust with welded-on magnaflow magnapack and Ford Racing shorty headers.<br />FR headers are unlikely to pass SMOG, isn't it? And the magnapack are going to be too loud?<br />I also have a Performance tune from a SCT hand tuner but I can revert back to stock and drive it for a while to clear the tune before taking it to a SMOG place.<br /><br />Thanks for the info in advance! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>95gtdrop</b> <br /><small>Member # 7478</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,5,25,17,3,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> if the headers don't have a CARB number you'll fail visual. unless someone overlooks them. you will want to go back to stock on the SCT tuner and drive it for 50-100 miles to get everything back to normal. get the car nice and hot before you smog it and you should be fine. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>mikeP</b> <br /><small>Member # 4489</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,5,25,18,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> fees and smog..... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Wht86drop</b> <br /><small>Member # 12104</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,5,25,20,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You might get away with the headers since there is barely any space to see then anyways <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>alexv</b> <br /><small>Member # 13018</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,5,25,20,54,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Ah alright, thanks, that doesn't sound too bad.
