Unless you're in CA ssautochrome headers should pass emission tests. I've had them on my truck for about a year and half and had it tested once and they've passed just fine.

Otherwise I know JBA's are good in all states i think. It would be sad to go back to stock after having headers

Did they actually go thru with the test? Downy claims they are street legal and will pass smog tests. Maybe there is anouther problem if they already tested it and its easy for the dealer to lay blame on the headers if there not Toyota.

As far as I know they did. I wasn't there for it so I can't say. I did not have it inspected by Toyota though. I took it to a place that my family has used for the past year or so. They have been really good, never cheat us or anything and they do a great job.

Oh I thought you said you did take it to Toyota , cause you mentioned the Toy service manager comment.

No i said I did not take it to Toyota. I've had it to Toyota once and they d!cked me over so I've never been back. Only ever to my local shop for all work and inspections/emissions.
