cp-e Cat Back Exhaust vs. California Smog Test

Has anyone had any issues passing the emissions test with a Cat Back exhaust installed, specifically from cp-e. I'll be moving back to the Bay Area in the near future and don't want to install a cat back if I'm going to have to turn around and put in an axle-back just to pass the smog check.

i don't think a cat-back would change the emissions, so you should be set. As long as you don't get in trouble for having an aftermarket exhaust..

I'm in a state that doesn't do emissions testing, so I'm FAR from an expert and would always recommend that you call and talk to the manufacture about these things first; however, that being said: given the fact that all emissions checks that car does on itself happen prior to the cat-back portion of the exhaust, I'd say you'll be just fine.

Smile Thanks

Thanks for the help. I'll be ordering my exhaust at the end of the month.
