Hi i am really interested in getting one for my car but am worried about somethings.... I live in California and was wondering if after instalation my is250 could still pass smog. If not, how can i make it pass? Also will i have any VSC warnings if i install? And lastly, where can i purchase one? I cant seem to find a website, only things on eBay.

 

there's are vendors that sell them here.
look in the performace forum for the 2is

 

you will have no warning lights come on, you will be able to pass smog, they only remove secondary cats, and replace your resonator. plus they sound great, hit chris from sns up. he is in socal and helped me out, i even picked them up from him.

 

thanks alot Mv350 but where can i find a site for sns and how do i contact him?

If it removes any cats then it's illegal in all 50 US states.

Now, if anyone notices or not is another question.

 

Catalytic Converter Laws
Rules for Replacing Converters
In 1986, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued new guidelines for the construction, efficiency and installation of aftermarket catalytic converters. All CleanAir converters listed in this catalog have been designed, tested and manufactured to meet this policy.

In addition, CleanAir converter listed in this catalog is appropriate for use under the current requirements of the California Air Resources Board (C.A.R.B.).
E.P.A. guidelines state that replacement converters may be installed only in the following situations:

1. The vehicle is missing a converter
2. A state or local inspection program has determined that the existing converter needs replacement
3. Vehicles manufactured prior to 1996 must have more than 50,000 miles, and a legitimate need for replacement must be established and documented
4. In cases of OBD Il-equipped vehicles (1996 and later), the O.E. manufacturer's 8-year/80,000-mile warranty must have expired and a legitimate need for replacement must be established and documented.
Please note that Federal law prohibits removal or replacement of a properly functioning O.E. converter.

When replacement of the converter is appropriate (as outlined above), the E.P.A. further requires that:

1. It be installed in the same location as the original
2. It be the same type as the original (i.e., two-way, three-way, three-way plus air/three-way plus oxidation)
3. It be the proper model for the vehicle application as determined and specified by the manufacturer
4. It be properly connected to any existing air injection components on the vehicle
5. It be installed with any other required converter for a particular application
6. It be accompanied by a warranty information card to be completed by the installer.
