I think I know how the Nizpro systems passes, twin cats and it appears they run the standard intake? That means you must be able to run 390rwkw's and a 10 with the standard intake? Can you confirm?

Didn't nizpro need that much testing though as they are sending modified F6's to Europe?

The testing was for Australia. But the car didnt go to europe, it went to my house.

If you did do the right thing and get it tested do you think the EPA would book you if you failed?

I'm not going to bother trying to pass a lab test just the side of the road ones.

Don't believe they would.

The road side test will fail you based modifications unless you have a letter to show they are legal

On BA/BF they had their plenum but the FG had the standard inlet manifold, all models used their CAI

It's legal to have a massive intercooler as long as you don't have a pod or vise versa, The Nizpro is EPA approved but not street legal if it has both then. Unless they got there pod and plenum engineered.

Should get away with a cat too as long as your exhaust remains under 90db at 3200rpm. Plumb back or blocked bov are fine and injectors are hidden enough to go unnoticed. With this set up you could probably only get pinged for actual co2 emmissions (ya never know maybe you would pass that too) and the chances of them getting you for that on the street are pretty slim if you pass everything else an look like you've put effort in to do so. You'd have to be really unlucky.

Is this thread about doing it correctly to be legal or just being lucky and not get done for something?

Many owners have been lucky in the past so maybe it is not a huge issue at all if the thread is about luck

"Thought this info might help people on their next trip to the EPA or better still help you get around them in the first place."

This pretty much, nothing to do with making it 100% legal as that's pretty much impossible unless to pay thousands and thousands to get it engineered. Preventative measures, to better your chances. Might as well make it hard for them.

I was trying to help with info as accurate as I think it is but I'll let others take their guesses at what they think will do the job, but the best preventative measure would be to stay from hot spots, I.e prinny h/way, chapel st etc

Lol that's not gonna happen..

All we can do is read the rules in the first post and try and interpret them as best as possible.
