I'm moving to the NOVA area from a state with no emissions standards, so before I register the car, apparently I need to get the "sniff" test done.

I drive a SOHC 96 Civic with DC 4-2-1 headers, a Megan High-flow Cat, and Ractive 2.5 cat-back.

Here to confirm that the Megan high-flow cat won't pass NOVA emission standards, as apparently no products made by Megan Racing are CARB legal.

Thanks for any info in advance

 

Look up what being "CARB Legal" means. If you're not in California, I don't think you can be rejected for having a part that isn't CARB certified. So I think all you have to worry about is whether or not your parts will cause you to fail an emissions test. Basically if your parts cause you to fail a sniff test, that's all you need to worry about.

 

they do sniff tests in NOVA? damn.
