I just checked mine: D-665-8 (next line) 840301 (next line) 06/12. PS: It was a super easy install, direct bolt on for an HX. Oh! And I live in CA. I'l post a picture.

I live in San Diego and purchased this for my 2000 honda civic...passed visual inspection and smog with flying colors.

I am not sure. I passed CA smog with it and they looked in to supposedly read some numbers. BUT there is a heat shield and I am not sure if they really read anything. If it is CA approved it should have the appropriate label I would guess. Things are not scrutinized at a high level of detail at most shops. You pass via the readings or not and they likely more just check that the converter and not a pipe is there.

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..

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.

I tested multiple times per day because it can be anytime when it's positive (but that's just me)! I can't remember what the instructions say, but I know some of them ask for SMU. Good Luck!

I can't give you a definitive answer, because I bought the CDB78 film for my house, and not my car. However, I did purchase a set of pre-cut 15% tint for my car at the following address: lexen123 on Ebay. go to ebay and type in that name then enter the information for your car, make, year and model. They will send you a set of pre-cut tint to match your car. In my case, I only needed it for the front windows and not the entire car. The price was 11.99 with FREE shipping. It only took me about 1 hour to install the tint after watching a few videos on you Tube for some IMPORTANT tips. I hope you find this information to be useful.

dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put this in my coupe in a box and sent back. wouldnt reccomend this for any car. dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put... » Read More dude this exhaust is still sitting in my garage, i bought this damn thing and took it a professional exhaust shop to install it, they wanted to charge me $350 to weld a extra inch or two of metal on it. and they said the exhaust would rattle while driving, and honestly you can fix that with just wrapping it with engine wrap and avoid the clanging sound. but honest man, this exhaust is short on my g35 coupe. i need another inch-3 to get it to fit past the rear bumper so it wont melt. youre better off not buying this. and the only reason i didnt return it, is because its such a hassle to put this in my coupe in a box and sent back. wouldnt reccomend this for any car. « Show Less

When asking questions like this, it is always helpful if you give enough information so the question can be answered accurately. Most of the items for sale will have a list of vehicles that the item fits. Then there is always an internet search. If you type in the year, model, item, and cross reference the part numbers for your specific application you can usually find if it fits or not.

I live in VA and I have driven in front of county as well as state troopers plenty of times and I have not been pulled over yet. My friend has a tc with an exhaust which is about the same level sound as mine and he has been pulled over. I guess it is just who you drive by and the mood if the cop. I am not 100 percent sure the dB reading but if you do some research online im sure you can find it. If you want follow me on instagram @fa1_goof_ball an i posted a video of the installed product. Overall the product sounds great, and when I am around 4000rpm and let off the gas I get a nice rumble and back fire.

Dear Mickey, I'm pretty sure you already got your answer, but for anyone else who does not know who many oxygen sensors your vehicle uses, I found the only reliable way is to inspect your exhaust manifolds top and bottom. They are screwed directly into the manifold itself. Four cylinder vehicles probably have one(1), six cylinder vehicles probably have two(2), I think eight cylinder vehicles can have two(2) or four(4). If you cannot perform this inspection then you won't want to do the job yourself. When working under a car, always support it with jack stands. Don't trust a jack by itself.

Steve - thanks for the info; I did talk to Derek just now - FWIW, he said that it just has the wrong decal (if it were actually a ES350 it would be a different color, green rather than yellow) and they will send the correct decal out; so I guess I'm ok with that explanation, at least for now. Also, I asked him about the serial number and he said it should be on a small decal that has 5 digits and the letter D - I found that on the bottom of the motor. It sounded like they had done some research after your call and had reached that conclusion.

This kit is certified by CARB (California Air Resources Board) as legal for 1996-2000 Honda CIVIC with 1.6L engine. Here is a link to the actual certification [http://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/eo/D-665-8.pdf ]. If the link gets removed Google "CARB D-665-8" The cert number came from Dorman (a DBA for Eastern Manufacturing) The kit worked great, their packaging is poor at best, but kit arrived intact, with all of the pieces. Hint, first thing, run you car up on ramps to simplify the job. Update, I just checked to Dorman fit guide, it will not work on the EX model. What exactly has failed?

This sensor is for cars built for Calif. emissions. You may have a "Calif." car though it hasn't been within 2,000 miles of the place. My 2001 Camry takes this "Calif." version though it was bought in Georgia so check the emissions tag on the underside of the hood for whether it says it meets "US" or "US AND Calif." emissions. In 2001 the US standards just required an oxygen sensor, the Calif. one required the air/fuel ratio sensor ($$$). Mine says US and Calif. Luckily the connectors are different so I couldn't plug in the "US" one I bought first. You'll make a really big mistake if you get the Universal fit version of the "US only" sensor and unwittingly splice it into a "Calif." car. This sensor is for cars built for Calif. emissions.

Corollas have 2 sensors, upstream and downstream or bank one and bank two respectively. Often times they have different plugs formats. So I would really check to see if your plugs are the same for both. upstream O2 sensor you have to access it from the engine compartment and the downstream its mostly coming in under your carpet on the passenger side. I haven't seen both O2 sensor go out at the same time. You can take you car to a local auto part store like auto zone or advance and they can read the code for you. It isnt 100% as they just give you a code but they maybe able to narrow it down or you can google the code and see where it points to. I hope this helps you out.

It is DOT approved, as far as I know. I live in Ky so we don't have the smog laws that other states have. Super chips says..."...we make clean power..." . You might check on their Web site to be sure.

You are asking a legal question. Unless the manufacturer certifies it, which it did not in the data provided. I have no idea who Mr. Bashr is and how he came up with the answer. See also California State Fire Marshal Information Bulletin 13-006 (Updated March 10, 2014) and contact your local fire marshal for determinations, different California fire districts may have additional requirements.http://osfm.fire.ca.gov/strucfireengineer/pdf/bml/List_CSFM_Approved.pdf shows it's approved for California use July 2014- June 2015.

Not sure. Occasionally the O2 sensor throws a code for other systems being out of spec. It's not always the sensor itself. Also on O2 sensors, get someone to clear the code. You can drive around for several cycles and it may clear on its own, if all is well. But it will take a few trips/few miles.

Hi Marcia. The last numbers on a tire is the actual size of the tire. So if correct the size of your tire is a 15. When ordering this particular tire cover they require the actual size of the tire to insure a perfect fit. The definition of a perfect fit is that this cover fits over the spare SNUG. All three numbers are required to order the correct cover. Please double check your numbers. If not sure get someone (another set of eyes always helps) to check the numbers also. And if you still are not sure take your vehicle to either a tire shop or the dealership and a technician would be more than willing to assist you in reading the correct numbers for tire size.
