Bump for answer

 

I don't have it equipped, so I can't answer the first few questions, but your stock exhaust will not fit in the trunk. You'd either need to dispose of it, or get another vehicle with fold-down seats or space to accomdate it.

 

Thanks for the answer, I already have the Tanabe exhaust on, I just need to swap the megan midpipe

 

i have a question what is drone your talkin about im gettin the megan drift pm me thanks with that question thanks again

 

Where yall buy the joez exhaust from!?!?!
i cant find it anywhere =(

 

^
L-tunedparts sells both exhausts as well as the Joe Z intake.

 

So then it will fail the visual test? Won't any axle back exhaust also fail just because they are looking under the car and seeing it's not stock?

 

Tampering with the cats is illegal, unless they need to be replaced for specific reasons. Anything reward of the cats isn't going to affect emissions, and so it should be fine. This is why Lexus is offering the F-sport unit as a legal replacement, for example.

 

Okay thanks, I knew that if it was "CARB"/"SMOG" okay or was offered as an accessory from the factory, it was okay. This left the rest of the options sort of iffy to me, and now I'm wondering if I "really" need the JoeZ exhaust... ahhh Decisions decisions.

The Megan midpipe removes the secondary cats all together right?

 

^We make a Catless version as well...

Keep in mind we are talking about the secondary cats here..

The primary Cats on the manifold are doing all the hard work and im sure these cars will still pass a sniffer test with out the secondaries in place...

The secondaries are what help make these new cars ULEVII ...


Its ALL ILLEGAL when you start modding cars.. LoL

Tint is illegal in CA, along with smoked tail lights, brighter headlight bulbs and being too low..

Joe Z

 

Of course you do.

You can get the racing version (no secondaries) or the street version (hi-flow secondaries).

Yep.

 

Thanks for the response JoeZ!
Just that smog is the only thing they check every five years, that's what makes me iffier about doing that than any other mod. I saw that you were able to use some of the stock exhaust pipe "covers" and you fit them around the thicker pipes for that oem look. How difficult was that to do? I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to do it...but don't want to hassle with the inspection.

I'm leaning more torwards the street version as it won't be as loud and catch as much attention, a tad hair more subtle than the race version..

Also wondering, how many 250's have the JoeZ Exhaust?
