California smog-spec Camry

[groovemasterodi]

Greets,
My '01 Camry CE is built to california smog spec I am told, and have noticed some more wires into the airbox area etc.

Was trying to figure out exactly what is different between mine and a regular Camry, would love to know this.

Have a good evening

I'll get some up in a bit.

The difference is the exhaust manifold. The cali one has a cat in it. Also i think small parts have difference as well, like how long they last n shit.

It makes a difference when ordering certain parts for your car of whether or not it's the California version or not.

Is there a reasonable way to un-Cali it? I figured at least a new ECU

The only real diff is that exhust manifold. the rest of the parts are incredibly close to federal cars, Like i said its basically just that they need to last longer or be stronger. The ECU is the same as far as i know.

IMO their is like almost no point in converting it to a federal car unless the exhust cat is clogged up. Hell i passed my cali emission test in my cali camry missing the cali cat, so it basically was a federal car.

Sorry for the delay in pictures.. here goes.





Main reason I was curious is because I'd like to get one of those Weapon-R SRI's, but am unsure what I would do about the sensors, etc.

Thanks again.

it looks normal....go ahead and get the intake. the sensor in the airbox will fit in the new intake tube. we all run our sensors like that into our aftermarket intake. thats why you got to get the intake specifically for your car...so the sensor housing will fit.

Much appreciated man, this is good to know.

Do you have any personal recommendations as to which one?

Hope you're having a good 4'th.

sorry you'll have to check the classifieds here on TN. I don't know too much about the inline 4's. have Good FOURTH

Thanks man.

Can anyone else point me in the right direction, there seems to be so much debate on this brand or that brand, the pricey or the ebay, so i am confused as to exactly what i should be looking for.

shameless saturday bump

In my opinion, after market intakes don't really do anything but sound louder and kill low-end torque. You can get the same sound by removing the resonators from the factory airbox, but you will still get to keep the low-end torque.

How would one go about doing this?
