Passing smog with an older Comptech header on an AP2
So I drive a 2004, and my comptech header's EO number is "455-12", however when I look online at the CARB website: from what i can tell, the comptech header E0# "455-12" is only for the "2000-2002 Honda S-2000 2.0L", while the EO# "455-21" is for the "2000-2004 S2000 2.0 L".
What would you if you were in my shoes?
EDIT: Yes, I realize the 2004 is not a 2.0L engine, so what gives when the CARB website lists information wrong to begin with.
I'm sensing I'm in trouble since mine is the 455-12, listed as only working for the 2000-2002, and I'm driving a 2004.

Hello again Casey! I would check in with the shop to see what the payment conditions are if you fail smog; I recall hearing that some shops will not charge if you fail. What year is your car? If its an 05 & up - neither of those EOs will work if they go by the books/strict when checking - In this case, I would just uninstall the header for the smog. Also try calling Comptech/CT Engineering.
Vu & Brian might be able to chime in here, they seem to have better experience with this.

My car is a 2004.
Unfortunately, I have since sold the OEM header, so I might be digging around for a header to borrow if I run into an issue here. Please someone let me know if they have an OEM header I can borrow for these purposes if I run into trouble.
I've put a email out to CT engineering based on your recommendation.

I think the shop wouldn't care if thats the right carb# or not as long as there's a # on there.. But let me know if you don't pass I have an 05 oem header sitting around I don't mind letting you borrow.

OMG s2ki to the rescue, I've gotten two offers to let me borrow an OEM cat, and now your offer to borrow the OEM header makes this situation perfect! I'll be in touch with you!

Yup, I don't think they will go that far to check the exact numbers. U alreay have a CARB # and that is already more than most aftermarket headers have. When are u due for smog?

they won't go the distance to check which number correspond to what. As long as it has carb # that's all they care.
