does anyone know if this is CARB legal? i may be moving to cali next year. i did a search and found that supposedly all DC headers are CARB exempt, but i cant find a specific # for this one.

Since the header is a modification to the exhaust, it is thereby illegal. As far as I know there are no exempt aftermarket parts for the Yaris. That is anything that has to do with intake and exhaust. I have the AEM air intake and asked them if the exemption application is pending or if they plan to do it and they replied: no, there is no exemption, there is no plan to apply and your intake is for off-road use only.  I know the DMV fined some dealers in the greater LA area a few years back because they were selling sport vehicles with mods that were not CARB approved. If you asked me, I'd say there is no way a mod that improves my gas mileage is bad for anyone (including the environment), but these are the rules... I don't understand why I can't install an aftermarket CAI on my 2007 engine, but one of the guys at work can still drive a 1982 Honda Civic with carburetor and choke and such. Even if I toss the catalytic converter, he still beats me by a wide mile in terms of emissions Like I said, these are the rules. I guess the Yaris is not a popular enough vehicle to make it worthwhile for manufacturers to go through the exemption process. Just my guess... |

 On another note, my Toyota buddy was able to finally remove the air/fuel sensor from the stock manifold, but the threads were wasted. Fortunately he had a used spare that he gave to me. It's almost all back together, maybe tomorrow I'll be able to finish it up. The battery is currently disconnected. Once I'm all done, I think I will start a new thread on my Megan header install experience as this thread really isn't the place.

No love for me with my air/fuel sensor.
 Tried a couple of used ones that had matching part numbers but came from different model Toyota's. All threw a CEL. Gave up and asked my buddy to pick up a new one and call it done. I should have the new sensor installed this evening.This became a rather expensive mod.
