MF Cat. Any luck with NYS inspection? Getting conflicting information. Primarily for those who have to pass NYS insp. Thanks.

If it has a CARB number on it, and is certified for your specific engine family it should pass. Is your rig CA or 49 state emissions?
 
Hey There,
I believe at one time i was told that it's a California emissions. I don't know how to tell myself. Is it hard to determine?
Thanks.

I think it says on a sticker on the hood but also if you get underneath and check if you have 2 catalytic converters (CA spec) or one (fed spec)

I'll have another look under the hood then. Like i said i was told that by someone who knows more than me.. I'll have a look for the sticker. I'll report back with my findings.

Put your VIN into Toyota's official vehicle spec website, Vehicle Specification | Toyota Owners, and see if it tells you anything.

When I put in my VIN, I can see "RE 48 STATE EMISSIONS" under the "PORT OR FACTORY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT" section.

Looks like you have CA spec. I have a 49 state vehicle registered in CA with no issues smogging, but that still has the OEM cat.
 
Yeah i thought so..
I have a CEL which points to the sensor. i'll change it and see what happens next.
Thanks
 
The CA emissions vs Federal emissions labelling is inconsistent. You can put a CARB (California smog approved) cat on a Federal emissions 4Runner, and a Federal emissions cat on a California emissions 4Runner. I live in California but drive and own a Federal emissions 4Runner which passes smog with a CARB approved Magnaflow cat with no issues whatsoever. Confused yet?

Just buy what's cheapest and allowed by your state. Last I looked, NY has adopted the CARB standards so I believe that means you would need a 50-state catalytic converter.
 
Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I was just doing some "pre research" I don't know for sure if it is in fact the CC I was preparing for the worse. It sort of looks like the worse might not be so bad.
I crawled around under there and i swear i saw only one CC and a rusted sensor. Lets say i did have 2 CC'S would they both follow down the passenger side? I had the MF Overland installed in August
so if i did need a CC i would go with the MF.
Thanks.
 
Thanks... I only just got back from the driveway. I can only find one CC...
BTW 10mm socket to deal with exhaust? Need to re check bolts under there.

Puppy..... I wish i had one.. but my "never home, Not liking to pick up my own chit" won't allow me to have one. I have fish. they're easier to deal with.
When i retire perhaps.

Thanks for the information.
 
Given how sensitive the system is, use the dual cat magnaflow since it’s a Cali rig. I’m in the same boat. I just haven’t done it yet since my county doesn’t require it…..yet.
 
Thanks for the reply information.
Any chance you might have a link? or is it on the MF site. I'm pretty sure that the sensor is bad but like i said i think I'm going to freshen things up under there.
Feel sorry for us right? Good ol NY..
Thanks again.
