Yea, I lowered it 2 inches...sits nice n level. I'm callin BS on the limited production 300-6 thing....

Raptor22

Awesome.

I think its BS too, first I've ever heard of it...

Would these mods be legal in CA?

mcpaul05

I'm sure this mod would not be legal in CA but I still have all the emissions equipment still on it and working.

Raptor22

Yea, it seems like since all the emissions crap is still there that it would be legal...

StealthWyvern

NOPE not legal by any means... no carb sticker

Edit: I dont know if the entire mod thing and carb stickers apply to older cars but a simple intake can get you a ticket without a carb sticker on it in CA.

Raptor22

I modified my stock one but you cant tell looking under the hood, you have to take the intake off to notice. This is on my Thunderbird tho, and not my F-150...

turbo 300-6 was in heavy duty use...

F150 Ranger Lariat

Super impressed, was the sts mount the inspiration?

mcpaul05

yeah STS was my inspiration plus i wanted a turbo system that could be taken off and the truck returned to N/A real quick if needed.

In sunny Cali, even though you would obviously fail the visual because of obvious mods to your engine, if you can still pass the actual exhaust emissions test specs for your year engine, for a couple extra bucks (1 time charge) You can take it to a "Smog Referee" at a state run facility. They will inspect & test you, & then grant you a permanent variance that will then follow the vehicles title transfers. The vehicle is then A-Ok from then on, as long as those mods stay in place & continue to pass.

This is also required & holds true for MAP to MAF conversions. This option for engine Modifications is not commonly known, but true. It's an option for end users (owners).

But if you want to manufacture a component & have it CARB approved (Which passes a standard visual inspection).....Good Frickin luck! You'll need that & buckets o' money & still may not be approved!!!
