That swap is easy enough to do during a weekend, reflash the tuner and log some miles to get the computer codes to all clear. The snout is able to be replaced without removing the blower.
Re: the catch can/oil separator- I picked the Elite engineering one because it is a closed system as opposed to the MM. Appendix G of the BAR has an other category where oil separator/filter does not require a EO verification. Regardless, Elite has a EO pending for their closed design system as I’m sure they are aware that scared smog techs are going to be unwilling to listen to any litigation that we hot rodders will do.

Correcting myself here… Re: Appendix G - that changed in 2019 and they took it out the main guidance. So it was legal in the 2017 guidance and you can still find the old pdf online. I just emailed Elite Engineering asking what the status of their EO was with the State of CA. They said the unit is 49-state emissions legal and here’s the quote:
“We have tried on several occasions to get this through CA, but have not had any luck recently. Currently we are at a standstill, and are still investigating our next move.”
Ugh, that’s more of a pain to remove than the snout, TB, and CAI.
Oh well, the unit is awesome and I know it doesn’t impact emissions one bit.
I’m going to run it and hope they figure this out before it matters to me.
