smog legal headers?
« on: November 17, 2008, 01:40:35 am »
Does anyone make a smog legal header set up for air injection besides Edelbrock?

Yes but they're expensive.

You can always make your own by welding the nuts into the tubes or retrofitting it to the 88-95 AIR style headers.

Thanks. Looks like I`ll be gettng the edelbrocks. With CA laws as tight as they are I don`t think the later ones will pass the visual inspection.

I just looked them up and they are ridiculously over priced. They want almost as much as I paid for the truck. And I thought $325 was too much for the edelbrocks. Thats pocket change compaired to the Thorlys.

I could but I`m afraid that since they won`t have a CARB number on them they may not pass the visual smog inspection here in califronia.

They won't pass the visual without a CARB number, and any header that moves the Catalytics will not pass either.  I don't think the Thorleys carry a CARB cert.
