i have the evidence that everything on my car is legal he was trippin about the intake i told him i bought it from subaru and he ( the ******* sheriff ) you still need a carb sticker

 

You technically do need a CARB sticker. If you get the CARB sticker before your visit to the ref then, assuming no other power mods, you can leave your car as is.

 

This is why if I ever do power-related mods, I want to be stealthy: relatively quiet, stock looking, and maybe (hi-flow) catted for less odor.

When reffed, you don't have to pay any fines? Of course it's still time consuming and a big PITA.

 

No, if the judge accepts the SMOG paperwork its a $25 slap in the face fee for the dismissal of the ticket.

 

so does any one have any suggetions on a exhaust i wanted to buy the borla hush it looks stock yet agressive

 

i love my borla hush...

 

I'm looking into getting: MadDad Whisper, Borla Hush, Cobb, or Stromung. I believe the Cobb and Stromung are louder than the first two, but they have a nice deep grumble (IMHO) -- I've never heard all 4 at the same or even with the same setup. So it's hard to compare them fairly...

 

sweet man where'd you get yours at

 

If you want to leave your car as it is, you can pay a big fine and skip the ref all together. My fine was $450 or something ridiculous.

 

nah im koo cuase i know im inasent ( if thats how is spelled)

 

Thats the ridiculous thing. They're only fining you because they want money. If it was actually for cleaning California's air, they wouldn't allow you to just slap your parts back on/ keep them on in the first place.

 

?!?!!? huh

 

You could also go with the spt catback. It's quiet, but still delivers that boxer rumble with out being obnoxious. Plus it's a dealer option part, so you should be covered. I have also hear somewhere that the dealer will kick you down a CARB sticker for the CAI if yours didn't come with one. Look into that as well. In the mean time hit up the classifieds and craigslist for something a little less conspicuous in the cat back department.

 

yeah is made out of stainless steal ( is shiny) might get attention

 

the cops always have to ruin the fun, dont they...
