Modified Corvette USA into BC
Hi
Anybody have any experience in importing a modified Vett into BC specifically regarding Federal and Provincial inspections exhaust with no cat’s, Stroker motor aftermarket brakes r and lowered just over 1 inch. This is a 2001 C5 Zo6, I did import my last Vett C5 from the states and this did have modified inlet and exhaust and nothing was said about that although CT may just not have realised.

I know what I always do, have a buddy who is authorized to do inspections, do the inspection, somehow they always pass with flying colors.

You´ll pass the federal RIV inspection as their mandate does not cover the items you mentioned. All you need for that is a clearly visible KMH speedometer (either digital or analog) the daytime running lights, recall clearance, and the correct US compliance stickers for EPA and DOT on the doorjamb, and you`re good to go. But you know that already from past experience.

As far as `Air Care` and anything else provincial it really depends on the guy with the clipboard in his hand. I doubt you`d pass `Air Care` though, as you have no cats. FWIW `Air Care` only applies to the lower mainland.

Of course, I have always followed Tony´s rule as mentioned above.

As mentioned - Air Care is only needed if you're in the lower mainland. The Canadian Tire inspection is more of a paperwork / vin check than anything else. If you need an insurance inspection, find a shop that you know / trust and can see that they're all OEM or better components.
