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

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.
