hi, i just got a pull over for having one of my tallight not working. I guess the lightbulb went out today cuz it was working fine last nite. The cop made me pop up my hood and writes me up a fix it ticket for aftermarket exhaust, header, and intake. Since i have a DC sports headers, but the carb number is not there, if i put back my stock exhaust and stock intake but leave the DC sports header on(i don't have the stock header) will i be able to pass the state referee smog? Also can someone search the vehicle code 27156(b) for me. My internet is acting up right now. Thanks

 

i just check the ticket again and the dumbass cop check the box "NO" for correctable violation. The gay *** cop is the one that said i have to go to the state referee, why the hell would he check the box not a correctable violation then. WTF?? I also heard that now when u get a fix it ticket, that they just give you a fine. Is this true?

27156. (a) No person shall operate or leave standing upon any highway any motor vehicle which is a gross polluter, as defined in Section 39032.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

(b) No person shall operate or leave standing upon any highway any motor vehicle which is required to be equipped with a motor vehicle pollution control device under Part 5 (commencing with Section 43000) of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code or any other certified motor vehicle pollution control device required by any other state law or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant to that law, or required to be equipped with a motor vehicle pollution control device pursuant to the National Emission Standards Act (42 U.S.C. Secs. 1857f-1 to 1857f-7, inclusive) and the standards and regulations adopted pursuant to that federal act, unless the motor vehicle is equipped with the required motor vehicle pollution control device which is correctly installed and in operating condition. No person shall disconnect, modify, or alter any such required device.

 

did you show him your carb legal stamp and reciept. Maybe this would help you out theres a guy in cali, hes a lawyer and he fights these exact cases, hes real good!! I cant remember if i saw the article in Import Tuner mag of this years.

 

unless you removed the cat converter you're not polluting any more than a stock car, so how would you fail any smog check?

if its really a dc header call them up for help

 

hmmm....i might just put back the stock exhaust and stock intake and go to the state referee. I think the DC sports header(if it is a fact a DC sports, not sure need to check later) will pass smog, i don't think they will ask if i have a aftermarket header. Im going to say i got pull over for have a aftermarket muffler on.
