Come to think of it, on Heisenberg I have a remote mounted oil separator that is brushed aluminum and doesn't look anything stock, and still passed just a few months ago.
This is good to know!
After installing the L&S Oil Separator, I hooked up my scanner - no codes. I really didn't expect any, more concerned about the tube going to the elbow fitting at the bottom of the turkey pan getting a leak.
Depending on the SMOG check tech, if anything of the vacuum hose routing has been changed from the sticker on the fan shroud, I think they are suppose to fail you.
We'll see, I just had a check so good for another 2yrs. I have a great guy that does mine, he gives me a pre-scan prior to connecting to the DMV system. I'll show him the Oil Separator install and take his lead on that.
