I'd love to get pulledover by your cop buddies...call it winning the Lotto.
PC is a bong on your front seat.
PC is a spent shell casing on the dash driving while in a neighborhood that just had a drive by.
PC is not a lowered car.
Bottom line: If you get pulled over & are asked to pop the hood, say "Not w/out a warrant."

If you modify ANY part of your emissions system, from forcastle to fantail, you are in trouble. That is, without a stupid EO number. An intercooler is totally illegal.
Just FYI

The issue with the fmic in california is the 5mph bumber law. the vehicle code states that a 5mph or under collison to the front end must be under 500 bucks of damage. thus a front mout being in front of the bumper and costing $1000 plus is way over 500 buck and therefore illigal. the only thing truely illigal is fussing with the smog equip, or modifying the exaust system in a way that is over 95dB.
just my 2 cents
if anyone is interested you can get the california vehicle code at the dmv for 3 bucks, its well worth it

That is also a Federal law. But, if you replace ANYTHING, between the INTAKE, and the REAR O2 sensor, in the Communist State of Kalifornia, and it does not have a stupid CARB OE# it is 100% ILLEGAL.
Why do you think that a stupid intake is illegal? It is all a big revenue scam by the state and CARB. All of those companies that have the parts with the OE#'s have to fork out large amounts of dough to get them certified.
I am SERIOUSLY thinking of trying to get something going on changing the regulations. Trying to get us on the sniffer only test (Just like the Federal law mandates).
I don't see it happening though. It has too much to do with $$$. Everything in this state is $$$ driven, especially politics.

I agree with Steppin razor. Like he said, you have to remember that they are the higher power. They can care less if you pay your taxes (their salary), they dont care who your parents are, and they sure as heck dont care what you think is legal. They are the ones with the flashing lights and ticke book in hand. I went to a few city councel meeting in Fremont, and Chief Steckler told me afterwards that cops are still people too. Using this analogy, he told me to think about waiters and waittresses. What do I or some people think about pissing off or being rude to them..? i told them that someone is gonna spit in my food or something. Well, if you **** off or annoy a cop, he'll give you a ticket.
Anyway, it does not give them a right to pull just anyone over. A law is a law, but officers should not take it apon themselves and "makeup" stuff. Sorry to babble, but thanks for the input...

You are right, that is a law that Manufactures must abide by, not you and me. And it is a FEDERAL LAW. It has nothing to do with our SOCIALIST state. That is either the DOT, or the NTSB that makes those laws about crash tests.
