Default Spoon N1 and legality issues (CT people especially - please read!)

All,

I am thiiis close to ordering a Spoon N1 axle-back with the currently still-under-production B-pipe. However I am a bit concerned about the legality of the system - even Spoon's website says "not recommended for street use". I am not so worried about the noise as I am about emissions.

My stock ITR exhaust is crunched due to my accident, so I don't have a spare more restrictive muffler lying around that I can slap on for emissions testing. The car is registered in CT, does anyone know where I can find the CT emissions laws? Or, for all you CT people, do you know the answer to my question offhand - will it pass CT emissions with an Icebox, JDM header and Carsound cat? Thanks guys.

What happens when you flunk an emissions test? DO they just write you a ticket, or make you come back?

as long as you have a cat, you probably shouldn't have any emissions problems. integras are very clean cars to begin with. my old gsr with aem and rsr catback exhaust passed easily, not even close to the limits.

haha, if you were able to adjust your a/f ratios in the parking lot, then your car likely wasn't stock.

Emissions you won't really have to worry about even if you fail you don't get fined just go back later. As for police stay out of newington windsor rocky hill
