  1. ...so got passed with the catless up (it is hard to see, I helped that by mudding it up a bit and putting the head shields on below - I really didn't want to swap that again), as well as the COBB turbo inlet that I didn't have a stock to replace with (scraped off the white branding, sprayed black primer on a paper towel and wiped a bit over, rubbed some road dust on it to antique). Stock DP, stock (silly small) intercooler. I suspect they didn't really look very hard, only a 5 minute check. Pain in the ass, now to swap the DP, cooler, and various tubes back. Probably the last 2 years on this one, with 174xxx I'm not sure I'll need to do it again. Random note, you don't really need to get that many miles to be OBDII ready; if you keep the gas tank rough half-full and keep it pegged at 60mph, it resets after like 25-30 miles.
  2. I'm going to see if I can get lucky with the non-stock up on, as well as the non-stock duct intake assembly end of the intake (which worries me more, that since that is visible). ...but if I fail visual, the plan is to replace intake with the crappy stock one and gut my stock up (EGT already deleted) and it put it back one last time. I had to put the stock one in to pass after failing a visual 2 years back, and did not enjoy taking it off again - one more swap total if ever.
  3. I can swap my 2005 GT nearly back to stock, which always was fine - other than 2 years ago when I ended up getting the best/worst tech ever and they spotted my uppipe, leading to very unpleasant replacement sessions to add a part that came right off after. Anyway, I have a nearly stock (or will be) car that needs to be smogged, will be able to restore everything to stock (visually, and there is a tune that is dealing with the plug in). I'd rather not remove the up-pipe of COBB intake - the cobb is apparently legal (I'll search for a ref on that momentarily - may swap the intake to stock again as well if I can't find the CARB ok) - anyone know a guy that isn't going to look too hard? The downpipe and intercooler will be back to stock, nothing about the car looks remarkable otherwise. Looking to do this in the next 2 weeks or so. -thanks - PM me any suggestions.
  4. I'm not able to view the photos on the walk-through post... any other places that might be located, or other walkthroughs suggested for an uppipe swap. Thanks!
