LS6 Intake, Pass CA smog?

**airmaxon1** · 09-23-2008, 03:38 PM

I know getting an LS6 intake means deleting EGR. does this still pass smog in CA or am i gonna have to get the SLP LS6 or Holley, Weiand, etc. with the EGR provision? any help, thanks.

You will still pass as long as you have the codes deleted... ie tune time..

no it won't pass visual, so if you want to stay smog legal you'll have to fork out the 540 for the ls-6 from slp, they are really hard to find used, that or wait for the weiand and get one with the egr. Get headers with the air and egr provisions you'll feel the power more than you would with the intake.
