I was looking to purchase some z1 3” intakes but wasn’t sure if they would pass inspections. If anyone knows that would be helpful thanks.

 

Depends on your state, obviously. Your profile doesn't list a state, so...

In California for example, you need a CARB EO sticker for everything not OEM.
In North Carolina, they don't even open the hood - just run an OBDII dx.
In Florida, what are inspections?

so YMMV.

 

i'll add to RotaryMike's comment, GA (specifically Atlanta area) you cna pass with no problems. I have 3" intakes and test pipes.

 

hey, I live in Massachusetts don’t know if you have any knowledge about that state. I don’t have anything illegal like dark tints or catless but I wasn’t sure if 3” intakes were non passable. I contacted z1 and they said they should pass with the ecutek tune kit on their website.

 

I mean, from a smog perspective (tailpipe testing, or OBD2 testing) it should pass no issues. Whether it will pass the inspector's visual inspection is more dependant on what you state does - I'd start Google-ing Massachusetts vehicle inspection modification"
