San Diego BS Thread.

Call the Truck Shop in Miramar and ask for James. See if he can do better for you. Tell him Matt sent you (858) 408-0314

 

Just get a universal CARB legal one (costs extra (double) for a stamp), and weld it in. Should be a few hundred bucks for the cat alone usually.

 

Thanks for advice guys. Will see what I can do! I put $50 unviversal one on my 1986 pickup back in 2007. Then they changed the laws. F CA

 

Getting away from the dyno and going straight OBD but visuals will remain

 

Would they still dyno OBDI and older cars?

And is that why they stopped selling code readers to California awhile?

 

Awesome. Let me know if I can do anything else for you. See if the truck shop will address your rear issues. Lookin good.

 

During all this I called a smog shop to see if I got a cat in AZ and Installed it myself. They said no more sniff test and the AZ cat would not pass vissual as they match the engine codes to the codes on the cat. Fucking ridiculous

 

I hope so cuz my truck passes obd and visual when I'm stock, but it get close to failing on that 15mph dyno pull

 

Had that problem once. I had a 5.8 in an F250 and the truck was not a California truck. Couldn't use a 5.8 F150 because it didn't match, couldn't use a 5.8 f250 California cat because it didn't match.

 

Need to buy stock in a company that makes ca compliant cats. Talk about a monopoly.

 

Im going to hit you up for a front bumper/skid plate in a few weeks if your down. I know you have a ton of work to do on your truck to get it ready.

 

If your exhaust is 2.25" you can use the cat off my truck, it's stock original with probably 50k on it.

 

I've always got time for more work! I'm ready when you're ready.

 

It already changed and the visual is a bitch, the only CARB intakes are Airaid and TRD and no cats or headers other than stock. The guy showed me that there are not even any universal aftermarket cats certified for use on a Tacoma :/

 

I'm running one of these for my year of truck, it cost me about 250 a few years back.

Well shit work is done. Oh well. Thanks for offer though!!

 

I'm sure the fact that Rick Hendrick is on the wall has nothing to do with that.

 

My wife's TDI jetta wagon has some pick up.

 

Any events going on this weekend I got my truck and im itching to do some trails or something

 

That's ok, minimum wage is going to sky rocket here soon. Apparently minimum wage isn't for high school kids or people with no skills anymore, it's for dashiki workin at burger king for 8 years and her 5 kids. Let's all just get comfortable in out jobs, and demand a huge raise, yer refuse to be more valuable to the company.
