CQ Cone Air Filter Upgrade
Just got a call from TAP- the Scorpion exhaust that has been on back
order for my 91 CQ since Aug. is finally in. Next on my upgrade
roadmap is I think a cone filter conversion. But I have a big
question regarding emissions control. How is the EGR handled, and
will that pose a problem with the Smog Inspection here in California?
Here, the inspection includes both a tailpipe emissions test and a
visual for "tampering with emissions control systems". Anybody with
first-hand experience to share?
Also, I would appreciate any "how to" tips for the installation. I
live down the street from Brasil Motors (Rui Brasils brother) so have
access to an excellent Audi shop. They are going to install the
exhaust for me and are kindof excited that I have a coupe for them to
play with. But I need/want to understand the project before I cut
them loose. I know that several list members have done this
conversion, so would like to absorb some of the collective experience
if possible.
Thanks,
Matt Rooke
'91 CQ 113k. Scorpion (soon), K/N cone (probably), TAP chip (maybe),
shocks/springs, brakes, wheels/tires (research phase), euro headlights
(procurement phase), and a new job to pay for all this (next month)
