Well basically I need to go to the state ref on June 4th to see how loud my exhaust is. I have a few questions though about the process. I was wondering if the state ref employee would pop my hood to connect something to my engine to verify what the engine rpm is. Since i have a jdm b16 in my car with no bar sticker, i would like to know inadvance because i am thinking about putting my stock motor back in to be safe.

Anyone with experience at the state ref i would like to hear your input. thanks

 

I went through the same process you are going to. Yes they will pop your hood and as soon as they see B-series they will not do anything else. I suggest put your stock back on with all the stock parts. Depending on the guy if one thing is off they will not test you. Good luck.

 

Oh, he will check your car like he was giving it a prostate exam.
