Will i still be able to pass smog checks after installing this intake?

Not verified. As it depends on local and state laws. But I would think your fine.

A catalytic converter is required to pass smog test. This is simply a test pipe.

I returned my truck to factory settings passed emissions w\o a problem and then returned it to the high performance settings. Its quick and easy. I didn't want to chance taking the test with altered settings.

I installed in the engine bay near the battery to keep it dry.... all wiring should be kept away from the exhaust

I bought this part for my 2000 Civic so I'll do a check tomorrow for the numbers. That said, I live in CA and the car passed smog a few months ago after I installed it along with new oxygen sensors..

No. I was originally going to run the factory shroud around it bit have found it unnecessary and I live in southern Nevada. Temps have been very consistent even when I'm offroad in low range working the engine hard. I don't thonk you'll have to worry about it.

It all depends on your dealer. If the issue has something to do with the intake then they will void it.

Sorry I can't help with this question. I installed this when I was doing my bath remodel and the installers made some mods to my exhaust (my condo is 30 years old), and I wasn't home when they did it.

Legally not sure, but should not affect emissions. Only used mine for a month.

Good question? I did buy the new intake and carburetor so I can't really say in your case. But, in years past I have just swapped carburetors and not the intakes.

Hi David, your good to go. It's not Cali exempt. I would recommend getting the unchip or some kind of tune to calibrate the air sensor. The computer is going to keep reading the stock air flow no matter if you have the Afe intake installed. Something they don't tell you before buying the aftermarket air intake or exhaust systems.

No. Part of the installation is transferring the mass air flow sensor the factory intake to the K and N.

you can reset the faults, but if you are using this to clear faults for a smog test you will have to do your drive cycle to restore your data before you will pass a smog test if the smog test uses OBDII for the test. In AZ they do.

Yes, this model will, there is another cheaper model won't. I have two civics, both install this exhaust manifold kid, both pass smog check. Good luck!

I have used this part and passed a CA smog test. Your experience may be different, but since this part is specifically designed to meet CA standards, you should be clear.

as long as all emissions are intact- yes you can pull egts off of sensor! thanks

No but some dealers will quickly blame the customers if they don't know what the real issue is to why a check engine may come on. If you do exactly what the directions say by K&N; you will be fine. Just be careful with the mass air flow sensor they are fragile and are easy to break. I know this because I've broke one with one of my many K&N; intake installs. Just relax, take your time and enjoy the install.
