So I have a feeling any day now I'm gonna get pulled over by stockton PD and b hasseled cause of there **** profiling. Anyway I have Comptech headers CARB, AEM short ram CARB, older skunk2 intake manifold, that resembles the type r one, with stock throttle body, basically the manifold looks stock and cops cant tale, it's bigger. Will I be ok to pass?

 

so no one has a clue?

 

you Should be good. But if the cop has ANY doubt he'll send you to the reff

 

If you got all the carb oe stickers and numbers on any aftermarket part you got, you should be fine. Also, don't have a breather filter on your valve cover instead of the hose that runs to the intake and don't have an adjustable FPR, that is also illegal here in cali.

 

Adjustable fpr are illegal in Cali?

 

ahhh i remeber those days in cali,it sucked hahaah, ya you basically gotta have carb stickers and junk, i live in nc now and cops dont have a clue or give a crap, cali sucks, i had all carb #'s and stickers when i lived in cali, cuz if you dont, state ref for you man, me and my buddies always had tricks and always fooled the cops, you wanna no more PM me

 

You'll be ok if you have all the carb stickers and I wouldn't worry about the intake manifold. The best way for them not to pop the hood is to not drive like an ***. Follow the traffic laws and you won't have any problems.

 

not all true, my buddy has been pulled over for other junk and always got hood poped open didnt matter for what it was,cali sucks,cops there are DICKS! ive been cussed at for no reason there by cops, they are dicks and have anger issues,you all no cops in cali have like deal to keep, they have to hand out a certain amont of tickets per month i think,ive been pulled over there like 5 times in less than 6 months, here in nc living 2 years as of now, never been pulled over, i have no carb stickers, cops or inspection shops dont care, i went to get my car inspected for the year and i went with my turbo in my hatch, well i did get pulled over once,for stepping on it ,cop pulled me over and didnt pop my hood at all, well story was i steped on it in first gear to second then he passed me and turned around so i slowed down big time,he says why did i slow down when i saw him i said cuz i was looking for a street to turn into in,hahah he let me go like in 5 min

Geez man I'm tired of hearing all this CA bashing on this forum. Yeah, I get it, CA is restrictive when it comes to emissions. Big deal! CA is an enormous state with lots of people and lots of economic activity. It needs regulations to keep the whole thing from getting out of control.

I plug through 2 hours of traffic every day in my Integra and I'm glad I'm not inhaling any more fumes than what there already is. Some of you folks should consider changing your viewpoint on the whole CARB thing.

Obviously this is not as big an issue in a less-populated state. Enjoy your clean air out there - we have to pay a dear price in CA to get ours cleaner.

 

^ word.

 

The old style skunk2 manifold is CARB legal as well. You should be able to email skunk2 and get one mailed to you. When you bought the manifold, it was probably still CARB pending but it eventually passed.

Damn I had no idea. I guess that means air quality regs aren't far behind in NC then...

So I guess the moral of the story is "enjoy it while you can"...

?

 

you should be good to pass.

Yup that's what i got sent to the state ref. for, everythings else had carb oe numbers or stickers on it.

 

i got sent to the ref back in 02 for an AEM FPR. Even told the officer it was at stock settings but he didnt care.

</TD></TR></TABLE>The problem isn't with emissions testing, it's with CARB. As long as what's coming out your tailpipe is clean enough, it shouldn't matter what's under the hood.

 

o and dude the air here in nc is like a billion times cleaner than cali, cali has way too much smog in the air, im not hating on cali cuz i lived thur my whole life, im just stating the facts...

 

If you get pulled over, they can still send you to state ref for just having modifications on your car. Since you have CARB legal parts (assuming they're for your make/model of your car), then you shouldn't be worried about passing smog. I have the same mods, including a high flow cat, apexi n1 catback, and a ctr intake cam...passed smog twice with this set up.

 

Here is the thing, i dont have stickers for the intake manifold its an old skunk2 that looks like a type r so you cant tell what so ever, will they notice it?????

i have a free flow with apexi exaust, but no carbs for it so i will just save trouble and put a stock exhaust on it.

 

If the cop is good, and looks at the hose diagram under your hood if you have one, and spots that the intake and hoses aren't hooked up correctly, you'll get sent to the ref, and if they see any aftermarkte part pertaining to fuel, air, or emissions that doesn't have a carb oe sticker or number you'll get sent to the ref, just play it smart and don't break the law unless you have the time, money and patience to deal w/ the state ref, then go to court to take care of any fines/tickets.

same thing as me....the apexi exhaust doesnt have any carb numbers that I can find. It just needs to read lower than a certain decibel reading. My skunk2 IM is also the first gen one with out the carb number. No one has ever said anything about it since it looks stock.

Again, like i said previously, if the cop is good, and knows what to look for, he/she will look at the hose diagram under your hood which I think by law is required here in CA now, and if they see hoses T or not hooked up where they should they will give you ref ticket. Don't ask how I know

 

you can get pulled over for anything, no front license plate, car too low, and for just looking suspicious, I just wanna make sure my manifold can pass smog.

 

A legit smog station will compare the emission and hose diagram, a not so legit shop wont
