on my wagon:

Cobb Airbox/intake
Borla Hush Exhaust
Catted DP
Perrin Up pipe
Hallman MBC + Basic Tune by EQ (done with Cobb AP)

I do have the stock intake and airbox, don't have stock exhaust anymore I gave it away free here and then it was put up for sale

anyway should I be able to pass the way the car sits?

 

Stock catted DP? Or aftermarket? If stock you will for sure pass emissions no problem, and MBC will fail you visually unless you have a cool smog shop, if aftermarket catted DP drive it really hard to get the element in the cat hot and you will pass emissions, but not visual unless shop is cool about visual...

 

Brake boost into a smog shop, me never!

 

I'm trying to understand what this means but I have no idea

 

cobb intake = fail
aftermarket catted downpipe NON CARB LEGAL = FAIL
Visual inpsection = FAIL
END Result = FAIL

 

Then I suppose i'll need to put it back to stock.

 

Need? Have to is a better vocabulary

 

they will fail you on look but you will pass the sniffer...

 

put the stock dp back on and the stock air box in and try it..really depends on the smog tech

 

Well, my Cobb SF intake is C.A.R.B. legal. I have the EO sticker in my glove box ready for the CHP (if they must, and they do).

Why the fail, Hengman?

 

Your car is a 2011 wrx/sti while the OP has a 2005 wrx. Just cause yours is CARB legal doesnt make his 2005 wrx cobb intake carb legal.

 

Even aside from visual, I'm not sure your numbers would pass with catless up pipe. Probably depends on the cat. I've got a few other small things here and there but I know the Cobb catted DP doesn't quite cut it.

 

do you live in san jose?

 

ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THREAD? Holy cow.

Catless uppipe will not make a difference. It's cold start thing, just like the 06+ got the air pump instead.

But seriously? Come on, one there's plenty of flamed threads for asking the same question, then once again even more flamed ones for looking to see if anyone knows a "cool" smog station. Pay to play guys keep your stock stuff and prepare however long it takes you to swap. It's simple...
