My Samurai passed smog with a Thorley header two years ago...

I recently moved Ceres CA. and the smog guys here are clueless!
They act like they have never seen a header before.
I have the sticker from Thorley with the E.O. #
This guy says he never heard of an E.O. #
I say "it means Executive Order Number"
"Its issued by the APCD."
He says "who?"
I lost it! :mad:I can never go back there again.
Not that I would.
Now in search of a smog guy with a brain.:confused:
So I go to a different smog shop.....
He says that the number thing is no problem.
BUT.... that heat collector will never pass....
Arrhg!!!!!
He claims it is angled down too far "heat rises you know"
I am heating up a bit myself.
"I will be removing that piece of crap as soon as I get my cert. anyway!" ComeON!!!!!!:mad2: :mad3: :nuke:

i think you need to find a new guy :D

they don't smog here.........:flipoff2:

Same as you, EO is okay, but the riser was not... He didn't notice it was bolted to a 1.6, so I didn't mind too much....

Here (El Paso, Texas) they didn't mind the 1.6 being under the hood. They asked the make - Suzuki, then they asked the size - I said 1.6 - He plugged it into the computer and gave me one of the cleanest smog check reports I had seen in years. Go figure...

Hey ZUKIN got just the thing for ya Im not regestered here in Illinois so I'l send ya my stock Exhaust manifold and you send me yer header hows that, problem solved and Im happy (hehehehehe) just fawkin with ya man you guy got it rough out there hell I just have to register mine as a farm use vehicle no test required. thank God

In Colorado, it depends on what county you live in. No smog tests in my county. I have the 1.6 16 valve, so the only header available is a Calmini - they work great, and I've already got one on my 4-door Sidekick, and will probably be installing the header on my 2-door Sidekick at EJS, on the trail.
