"What many people fail to realize is that keeping their vehicles well-maintained not only helps clean our air, but also saves them money in the long run."

Somehow I have a feeling Sherry Mehl has never changed her spark plugs before, yet alone get her hands greasy and does not have the qualifications to make such a claim.

"Clean piping is a direct threat to public health." Show me the data

Speaking of open exhausts, does anyone remember any of the J-Town underground garage meets?

the California AIr Resources board is the biggest bunch of bull**** in the world. They are just wasting our money and trying to outrage people about something in order to cover up their jobs and careers are complete jokes.

Allow high flow cats as long it meets standard emission outputs. That will encourage more enthusiasts to comply with smog checks.

Can't be worse than a tired 400sb chevy, over-carbed with a broken power valve and leaky valve guide seals.

What makes you think hiflows won't pass the sniffer? I passed through state ref with my last car with a high flow and passed.

I have a hard time believing that a wrx with say a catless up pipe and 2 high flows would fail the sniffer if it was tuned to do so.
