Yeah, I was thinking of getting the VRSF charge pipe, but was trying to find out how noticeable it would be visually with the meth bung and the rubber or silicone coupler and clamps in the middle. I even considered trying to find some exhaust tape and or coupler and clamp to reinforce the connecting end. |
I've never had to go in for smog yet but I would be very surprised if anyone noticed the charge pipe, or cared if they did. Other than the CARB politics, logic states that it can't have an effect on emissions since it just replaces a plastic part with aluminum (pre-combustion). It won't throw codes, it doesn't affect readiness monitors, it won't affect a sniff test, I think it's pretty low risk.
