Hey guys i was wondering if the headers are carb legal or not? If they are, does anyone know where i can get the carb sticker from?

No way. You are looking a 2 to 5. Maybe 12 months with time off for good behavior.

It's been a while but I had to contact AEM/DC and fax them a copy of my receipt. They mailed me the sticker.

They are carb legal and listed in the California carb exemption code book!

Print this out and put it in your compartment in your car:

This is the carb eo # for exemption and allowed installation of DC headers on 350Z's in Cali

NHC4201, NHS4201 2003-2004 Nissan 350Z 3.5L ending letters: "B" = brushed finish, stainless flange; "S" = polished finish, stainless flange

Here is the link to the page from Cali's ARB site:

http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php

Scroll down to manufacturer DC and product Headers then find Nissan 350Z

Link fixed:

Scroll down the page to list executive orders by device then click the manufacturer radial button and pick exhaust system/exhaust modification from the drop down menu and hit search for EO's(executive order numbers) After that scroll down to manufacturer DC Sports and device: headers, then look for car model 350Z and you will find the EO# in my above post to print out from the Air Resources Board's site for any Cali PD to observe during a stop.

thanks for the link fix - good instruction for finding too

Question though... how does law enforcement and/or smog tech know if the headers on the car are the ones being represented on the printout? Do you have to carry original sales invoice proving the headers are DC?

I would imagine so, or there is a serial number on the header maybe. I did this research when I was contemplating headers but then decide against them or at least to wait. I have berk cats, hks hi power, jwt popcahrger and aam spacer so I am by no means legal by Cali's standards I would imagine. Except the popcharger.

There should be a small tag / plate on the header that shows the brand / model number which matches the one on the CARB E.O.

The CARB exemption only mentions the 03-04 350z models in its DC Sports exemption...so technically does it also apply to other models like 05-06?

OCG35

iTrader: (2)

what if the headers are wrapped or coated? You wouldnt see the tag - but that might nullify the exemption anyway...

Vivek, do your DCs have a CARB plate on them?

OCG35

iTrader: (2)

it does cover 03-04 Gs too

But you're right, it doesnt say anything about 05-06 Z or G

I have to double check on that Mike. Im not sure if the Dc's have a carb plate

OCG35

iTrader: (2)

let me know - because if they dont, then mine are DC too
