WTB: Stock 2002 WRX Exhaust - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

TheBeast · 2013-09-24, 06:45 PM

Hey everyone,
I need to buy or borrow a stock turbo back exhaust that will fit me 2002 wrx to pass smog. Does anyone have a stock exhaust laying around that I can buy or borrow for a few days?

Thanks,
Scott

Why do you think you need a stock exhaust to pass smog?

I pass smog with no problems, header, up pipe, downpipe, & cat back. You shouldn't need it to pass here in Reno. But I might have a Stock Downpipe laying around I can try and find in my garage if needed.

Even in CA you can have an aftermarket CBE. I did have to put the stock DP and midpipe back on to pass here though. They didn't notice the aftermarket UP thankfully.

I have a stock downpipe chillen in my garage if you want to buy it.. $50 and it's yours.

I didn't pass in Colorado before I moved out here. Colorados regulations must be more strict than Nevada. I will give it a shot with my catless turbo back exhaust and see what happens. How about the visual inspection? Will I pass that with my current exhaust?

Thanks for al the help!

There is no visual inspection other than making sure the check engine light functions in the bulb check. It's a computer test and takes about 3 minutes.. I'm a smog inspector.. Do them every day..

My WRX is from out of state. This is the first time it will be registered in Nevada. The DMV told me I must have a visual inspection and a smog inspection.

No you need a vin inspection. You need a vin inspection, smog and current Nevada insurance prior to registering in Nevada. There is no visual inspection on 1996 and newer vehicles other than the check engine light.

I bought my car from Washington and there was no visual inspection other than what Andy said.
