on the ticket does it say correctable? you'll have to pay $35-$40 for a ref. to smog and check out your car.

 

so he will have to smog the car..?!!!! because of the intake.. it says correctable

 

just make your car legal, (put the stock intake back on or a CARB exempted intake, and leave it that way.

then stop committing traffic offences, and you will never have to visit the ref again

 

if u decide to just pay the ticket its 4 bills!!!! if u go see the ref they will smog ur car, check the wiring, ecu, etc...

 

sounds like its just a fixing ticket.. jus put a legan intake on and get the ticket signed off by chp.. exhaust u can change and get it signed off too unless u wanna take it to get it sound tested.. once i got pulled over and asked the cop bout gettin it sound tested and he told me u can do that but chances are u will still get a ticket becuz we dnt knw if u modified anything since u had it tested.. but iono

 

some are bitchy they check its the serial # if its for correct model even if it fits perfectly, my intake was from my 98 prelude i put in on my 93 prelude, got pulled over for loud exhaust, passing the ref the guy is like ur intake is not from this model he came with print outs of which model its from and what model i need, im like its AEM has carb #, but he told me its not it and wouldnt pass me its the one on florin road and 24 th st

bump

 

help please

 

yea. they will smog it. like i said u can just pay the 400 dollor fine....but come next year when u register the car u will need a test only smog.

 

What exactly does your ticket say? Not your translation but whats the VC number they put on there? Did he give you a ticket for the intake, did he pop the hood and take pictures? You might not have to get smogged and you might just need to see a CHP for the correction.

 

i'm glad we don't have this c.a.r.b. in missouri this stuff sounds like it sucks

It doesn't suck. Don't skimp out and not get a C.A.R.B ready intake and you will be 100% good to go.

 

no it says no officer write off only state referee and no he did not take a picture.. so then does that mean i can replace it and put a legal intake?..

sounds like it sucks. i know a guy with a em2 with a k20 and he moved to Texas just to avoid all the ref stuff.

 

if you need a stock intake i got one

 

wow cali has some [b]GAY[b] laws

 

a bro if you need i have a cold air injen intake carb legal im sellin

 

its alot of stuff man... and alot of it makes me wish i dont do the swap in my car but its to late

 

Heres the help for a ref:


GEt everything visually sound; nothing standing out as "illegal".

Make everything he can easily check legit. end of story; if that means borrowing an OEM intake, do it.


Lastly: You only need to tell them you got a sound violation when you go in to have it checked; it is not standard practice to smog a vehicle for this; as smog does NOT require a muffler to pass a test. After you get checked; ask for an offical document stating your car's reading and that the system is compliant. Upon request, they have to issue you one for future stops (to show the officer when u get pulled over).


When I get exhaust installed on my car; I go straight to the CHP and have it sound checked (so if there is an issue, the shop can fix it then and there). At this point, the exhaust is the quietest it will be; so that way; when it breaks in, and it gets louder, you already have something ststing that is it compliant, and they can not charge you for it.
