yea, have fun

 

can't tell if that was a sarcastic remark or not.

but really, i don't know.

 

I would only go to the ref if I was forced too

 

yes

 

yea, but kinda hopeing to pass the test to get a certificate of noise compliance.

 

But be aware that the state ref will most likely be looking close for things like all the cats in place and goodies like that.
So if you have a non-CARB turbo back system, don't expect a silences to get you through

 

CA Smog= you fail if you touched your car.

 

+1, when you go to the ref, youre supposed to > take EVERYTHING off <. search BAIC for the threads of people like Ave or Apexwagon, and see what they had to do.

 

Yes you can use it to pass the state ref. I did it w/ my magnaflow Ti exhaust.

The state ref does not look for cats all they do is put the mic to teh ehxaust at a certain distance and check the decibles, but it is recommended to have you cats in, so it will lower the decibles down.

Hey and all of you who is trying to give advise, if you never had first hands experience w/ the state ref, maybe its best if you didnt say anything. i mean where are some of you getting information from. Sorri i dont mean to be harsh but some of the information that some of you presented is not true

 

alright.....





to get the right response, are you going in for smog violation, or noise violation?

 

I had a buddy of mine go in to the state ref.

His mods.

VF30
pink injectors
upipe
FMIC
TBE (catless)
Intake
high flow fuel pump

All we did was take off his FMIC and replace it with a TMIC.
Put the stock TBE exhuast back on and he took it away.
Still kept his fuel pump and tune
Passed with flying colors.

Maybe it's Sac I dunno but he had no problem. (yes he was scared ****less)

 

I was not able to use my silencer when I did my Civic SI, and they did not check for cats and what not, my car barely passed you have a +/- .3 db range in order to pass I was .2 over the limit but within the allowable limit to pass with

thanks for the info and comment. it is for a noise violation, hence my reply about getting a certificate about noise compliance.

 

actually, in CA you CAN have a CBE as long as its below a certain volume I believe
