just bought this car for my daughter and the exhaust leaks in the flexible part of the pipe was looking on ebay for a replacement and they show a federal emissions version and a california emissions version, they both look the same, I do not believe this car is a california model but how do I know for sure. any help would be appreciated.

 

First how old is the car and how many miles? It may still be covered under warranty,.

 

Emission certification label is attached to bottom side of hood.. provided it has original hood.

Better determination would be to call dealer parts dept... ask them to load your VIN on MICROCAT, when VIN loaded, they can look right there and see if it is FED or CA emission..

 

sorry it is a 2001 with 140,000 miles, don't think the warranty will help on this one.

 

Bummer. Yeah, check the underhood emission label then.

 

ok looked at emisions label: "THIS VEHICLE CONFORS TO U.S. EPA NLEV AND TO CALIFORNIA REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO 2001 MODEL YEAR NEW LEV. PASSENGER CARS"
still confused.

 

My manager told me a while back that all the cars were made to CA emissions, easier to bringin that way..

Got VIN ?

 

yea I have the VIN will prolly have to call the dealer and see what they have to say.
