Question about intake and headers for California Tsxers
Guys am going to get a Topspeed Header Replica and a Fujita short ram intake i was wondering if it is california state legal and if it is going to pass through the smog test? (purchasing from someone)

It is only California state legal if it has a C.A.R.B. sticker or stamp on it.

Neither one is smog legal due to visual inspection, but I passed with a header with no problem. There is a way to make Fujita intake legal. PM me for details

Are you the original owner of your TSX?

If so, how and why did you get your TSX smogged already?

On the same topic, are aftermarket cats and exhausts able to pass smog?
i.e.: APEXI WS2.

Thanks in advance.

There are a few guys up here that say they have passed it with an aftermarket exhaust/cat.

Just get a DC header. They aren't that expensive and they have CARB stickers so you won't have to worry about smog tests.

back when I bought the injen sp intake back in 2007, it doesn't have the CARB sticker on it. I've heard that it has the sticker now, but I'm not sure.

If anyone knows about this, please let me know! Can you just email Injen for the stickers?

Yes, just send Injen an email about your situation. They'll send you a C.A.R.B. sticker for your intake.

This is what I did back in 2004
