My step dad is the GM of a toyota store and he pretty much said i cant buy a new header for my car becuase it wont pass smog with one on. This really sounds like a load of bull____ to me. Im in CA buy the way. Any info would be awsome. Thanks in advance!

 

The DC Sports header is a 50 state legal unit.

 

tell him to read a little more...in case all mufflers are legeal but the sound of the muffler may not be legal....it does not say that when we purchace a header muffler etc taht it has to be a oem part.....cuzz then everything pep boys or kragens sells would be illegal...

 

Actually i believe the dc is'nt carb approved either. it's actually a 4-1 race header and all dc "race" products arent carb legal , I may be wrong but I've never seen a carb sticker for a scion DC sports header. Adapt the ugly heat sheild to fir over the header and most smog guys wouldnt know the difference. that or go to a lax place , most independently run shops don't trip as long as it passes tailpipe. Or worst case find someone that illegally passes cars.

 

who cares...we have 6 years before we have to smog...worry about it in 4-5 years from now and just mod like crazy
