Celica Forums General Discussion General Emissions?

So I was told by a mechanic from Toyota (Don't know how much I believe him) that by having a SRI that I will not be able to pass emissions. Does anyone know if this is true. I live in Suwanee, GA and don't know all the regulations. Help me out if you know. Thanks

Not true.



I have a CAI and, at the time of my test, an exhaust with a leak in it and I still passed.

u can get injen or aem..they are carb approved and everything no problems with visual and emission tests

hes full of crap i have a ebay sri (not carb approved) and jsut ha my car inspected a month ago no proplems what so ever

I had my car inspected 3 times several months ago with my Injen CAI. I passed emissions, a visual check (which I was the only car that they checked under the hood) and the ECU check (they plugged it in here in NJ and I don't know what for) all 2 times that I needed the full inspection.

what the hell is the emission test? why do you guys need to be tested for? what happen is you fell the test?

only 1 out off every 30 things that toyota said is true.. same thing goes to other dealer.. before you take their word go ask around first..

dealers are full of

so true they only want your money

I passed SMOG with a AEM CAI and a crack/leak in the manifold before.The SMOG place I took my car to didn't make a big deal about my modifications. The dude told me if I fail then I need to worry.

...as long as ur 02 sensor r intact and ur check eng. light isn't on, u'll b fine...

emission testing is done to cars that are newer then 10 years (diffrent by state to state and county some times) they hook up a hydrocarbon dectector to your exhaust pipe to see if your car is running clean enough thats why its illegal to remove the cat

you need to get it tested because its the law lol

i don't know what happens if you fell the test but if you fail it you have to get your car fixed i.e. new cat new 02 sensor common proplems like those (thats not everything that could fail you)

Dealers are full of SHIT. i swear the next time i hear another crap coming out of the mechanics mouth.. im going to... uh.. DIE?

Yeah he told me that the only thing he could do to fix it was to replace everything with stock parts (and then bend me over a rape me for money). I figured he was full of crap

lets just say as long as you arent shootin out gas youll be fine
