Not the same test we must pass to clear an EPA. So a brand new car can infact fail a roadside test. Bimodel exhaust pass from factory because of this I assume.

Costs something like $6500 to test it. I had an avo turbo kit on my old mx5 that I paid extra for because it was approved by the epa but that turbo kit was no different to any other turbo kit. It even had the dreaded oiled pod filter in the engine bay along with an intercooler. I would also be interested to see what about the Nizpro kit makes it epa compliant when all the others aren't. They just spent the cash is all. I think it comes down to tune if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
