I got an EPa notice in the mail today. It is for Noise and Emissions.

What exactly do i need to do?

I have a front mount

Standard airbox

ECU (piggyback hidden in the kick panel)

EBC AVCr

I also have a 2871r (looks factory)

Z32 afm and larger injectors

I obviosly have to get a standard exhaust. I dont need to change to the factory side mount do i?

How do i take off my EBC? Is this hard?

The car is an S14a

I thought they would only check to make sure they car is legal noise and the emisions are ok? I didnt think they would look at all this other stuff?

Kinda peakin out.

Need advice

if you have to go to macleod, then you will have to take somethings off. EBC definitely. Intercooler is fine providing your airbox is standard (one intake mod allowed). If your turbo looks stock and running stock boost you should be fine. Piggy back I think is a no no. Not sure if they can check the bigger injectors but then again, i Dont know how well it would run on stock ECU.

Dont quote me on any of this, but last time I went to Macleod, i got the full inspection which included noise, emissions etc. They even plugged into the consult to check if my ECU was standard.

if its anything like nsw, then they are pretty switched on and know what they are looking for. You will have to get the car re-tuned to pass emissions test on std boost. Make sure cat is up to temp before they do test. putting back std ecu really is not an option for you with injectors and afm changes. good luck.
