CA emissions aren't that hard to get around. They have private testing shops.

Removed mine a week ago, really easy, just loosened the intake tube,removed the end vane,carefully unscrewed and pulled the sensors still plugged in out of the way, left the molded triangle pieces in place and used needle nose pliers to unwind the carbon and plastic windings ,reinstalled end vane put back together.. no need to pull the whole tube assembly off…

I think i like that option better.

I did same but I just took off whole tube, it is just easier and more comfortable for me to do so, anyway it is just one more screw that holds it on a throttle body

Could you snake them back in if you had to?

It’s possible but would take some patience…

Has anyone encountered a check engine light after this? I did this two days ago, drove it about 80 miles and today, got a check engine light. I'm charging up my PC to hook up FORSCAN and try to read codes. I'm a MAC guy, so this is the only reason I still have a PC. It's amazing how many updates you need when you haven't powered up in 18 months...
