I have a 2008 MINI cooper S and I need to get it SMOG'd again (I live in California).

I took it to get it smog'd and passed but now they are asking for the CARB Cert Number for the charge/discharge pipes. On the pipes themselves I can see where a sticker USED to be, which I assume was the Carb Certification number, but they are no longer there. It has also passed smog in the past but I was never asked for these numbers (I'm guessing because they hadn't fallen off yet).

Does anyone own the NM Engineering Charge / Discharge pipe and would you be willing to share that number with me? I have tried to reach out to NM but they are closed. Also, their website has a CARB Cert number for their intake, but not these two items. Frustratingly I've looked at the CARB website and couldn't find anything related to these pipes either.

I'm sorry if this topic has been explored in the past; I have spent over an hour searching and could not come up with anything related to these pipes. I could only find threads regarding NM's Intake system.

For reference, these are the pipes I'm referring too.

NM Charge Pipe

Discharge Pipe

Thank you for your time !

 

Unexpected development!

So NM says that the pipes I mentioned were never CARB Certified.

That takes care of that. Time to find some stock parts

The more you know!

 

You shouldn't need a carb sticker for the pipes as they don't effect emissions in any way since they are just pipes. If the emissions place is giving you a hard time about them I would suggest trying a different shop.
