I have an 05 TC Auto with the following mods:

K&N air filter
TRD Supercharger w/ 9.5lb pulley
Tusdo catback exhaust

I am hoping i will pass since i do not have aftermarket header or downpipe, and still retaining the stock air box. Is this true?

Thanks so much to whoever responds!

 

You'd pass the OBD test, I'm not sure if this would pass the sniffer test, since it deletes one of the cats. It's been so long since I've gotten a car smogged(new car 5 year no smog rule ), so I don't know if they would do a visual inspection under the car.

 

I was curious(live in CA too), and bored

So I found this:http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/80_BARRe...08-09%20V3.pdf
Basically, your exhaust will fail visual inspection. Also, fyi and others 6 years and newer are exempt.

 

Thanks so much syberspyder for the info, i'll def give this a read-through. I got pulled over 2 years ago for loud exhaust so i took it to BAR station to get tested, and passed that. Since then my setup has been about the same so i'm hoping its the same test.

My 05 just crossed the 5 year mark so i need to get it smogged now.

 

The EO# actually specifies Pulley diameter.: http://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/de...o/D-425-18.pdf

 

/\ Good find. That's Cali for ya.
Has anybody with a modified SC in CA had their car smogged and not gone over with a microscope. I'm wondering if this is as thoroughly tested as suggested.

 

there are crooked smog shops everywhere man just do a little hunting if you don't want to take it off. but keep in mind you're going to pay extra.

 

To bring back this thread one more time, the smog guy i went to needed me to show that the TRD Supercharger part number was indeed smog exempt.

I did have paperwork from CARB for the supercharger (this one: http://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/de...o/D-425-27.pdf ).

But the above pdf doesn't list part number which is weird.. anybody encounter this same problem? I have no clue where my CARB sticker went and TRD/Toyota won't issue me another one!

Thanks so much everybody!

 

-u need the correct pulley, the stock BPV (if your running the bosch 110bpv), and the stock S/c air box with the hydrocarbon trap filter still intact. probably would need that stock long mid pipe under your car.

-im in the same boat, probably do smog in a year or 2, im running 110 bosh bpv, 9.5 nst pulley, TRD modified cai, soon to be running megan- midpipe

 

Just got the smog done, and barely passed. I was able to get the carb sticker for my s/c by calling TRD directly. So I guess 9.5 psi pulley with s/C is still passable if your cats are still good.

 

Did a search, but didn't find an exact answer so I figured I'd bump this thread.

I need to smog my car soon and I was wondering if a wideband O2 sensor on an aftermarket s-pipe would fail a visual inspection(CARB)? The PDF file that I linked to earlier in this thread mentions 'modifying sensors', but I don't know if this includes adding an O2 bung.
I am in the middle of putting stock supercharger parts back on my car(intake/pulley), and would like to avoid changing the s-pipe if I don't have to. Anyone in Cali recently smog their car notice if they visually check the s-pipe O2 sensor?
