When I had my exhaust decibel tested at the State Ref, I talked to someone getting their car barred and he said it's about $50/visit. Getting your car to be smog legal is another issue. Surprised Tim and Craig havent chimed in.

To BAR your H22 as right now costs $8.25 compared to $38.00 a couple of months ago.

only charging for the certificate now?
when i did mine it was the same price as a smog check, about $40 and you get 3 tries to pass before you paid another $40 for another 3.

i believe ricardo (primesniper) only paid that price b/c he had a ticket to sign off. if a person didn't it's still about $40 to get the ref to do the BAR procedure on a car, pass or fail but like gary said (2.2litrebeater) it's for 3 tries.

as for the cost of the swap to legalize to pass the bar, it all depends on condition of your motor, catalytic converter, and if you have all and i mean ALL of your vac lines intact. edit: unless you have an aftermarket intake with has a CARB sticker on it.

When I went my first time I had to pay 38 bucks.

New cat should be here on Friday, and then off to the Ref to try again!

Correction my buddy timmy - The cost is just $8.25 for the BAR cert. The referee was so cool that he gave me 2 copys. One copy for my registration and the other for officer Doofy!! W Covina PD fine was $436.00 then reduced to $25.00 for passing state referee

Air bypass valve? When I went the first time I had 191K on my oem cat. I hope this new one works better.

the abv is that oem or aftermarket i googled it and i kept getting the one from AEM, i need all the info i can get before i make an appointment to see the state ref.

It's Air Boost Valve, actually the official name is something else, but you can use the one off the F22

Hip Hip Hurray again for Jeremy and Ricardo
