Cleared a major hurdle today!
First smog inspection since adding my Mopar system, Cherokee header, 4.0 head. The first question he had was don't I need to go to a referee first? Well since he asked me I told him no that the E.O. # is right there on the new emissions sticker and that drama gets bypassed. Then while going over it with a fine tooth comb he asked if it was a "header" or stock exhaust to witch I replied "stock"( it is stock on another Jeep lol), then asked why I had one of the 2 oxygen ports plugged on the "stock" header to witch I added that the new system deleted some of the old equip(whitch it does). After a few more questions he proceded with the testing and after all said and done it passed with high marks!
It was in the bottom 5% of all the allowable emissions tested so it does run super clean now.
YaHoo!

's at CARB dont see those #'s as a vast improvement. They test the Mopar MPI using later model stats. Just smogged mine the other day, passed, but the tester confirmed what I already knew that the requirements for our Mopar converted engines must meet mid/late 90's standards, instead of much less stringent early 80's standards. Instead of seeing the vast improvement from the upgrade and applauding, CARB raised the bar. While some emissions are greatly reduced with the upgrade, the one's that havent changed become the problem. #1 failure reason on this upgrade is NOX levels too high.
