So I bought my first 2006 WRX and right away installed a Espelir JGT500 exhaust muffler.
Well, as I was driving to work today, I get pulled over and get a fix it ticket. I had no idea it was illegal in Cali to have these.
Any one experiences the same thing?
Any one looking to buy one L? It’s practically brand new. I installed it about 3 months ago. I don’t race, I just loved the bad *** sound it makes. If anyone is interested it’s up for grabs.

 

its a fix it ticket. Put on the stock on, get it signed off, then put the espelir back on, lol

 

i thought they change the whole "fix it" ticket thing and they just send you straight to the ref

 

LOL, It crossed my mind!!!

 

If you get sent to the Ref for an Illegal Exhaust, do they just do a Decibel Test? or do they also do a Smog Test?

 

They save you the time in getting a decibel test. They have a list of all illegal exhausts. How convenient. They’ll only due the smog thing if you change your up and down pipes.

 

they do both. I just threw on my stock turboback and passed both; i even had a catless up-pipe installed during the test.

 

what cvc did you get 27151(a)?

also..

So what was the outcome? What tests did they perform?

 

havent done anything yet, im waiting for the ticket in the mail.

 

You wouldn't happen to be the guy I met in down town San Jose. You were driving to a party and stopped to see the 2 brand new black Subies.

 

OK, now, how about spoilers. Anyone get any S#$t for spoilers? I’m thinking about getting one. Maybe the STI OEM.

 

The JGT500 is one of the loudest exhausts on the market, you'll just have to swap it back for stock if it's a fix it. Good luck.

 

Yup, that's what I plan to do. I have 30 days though, so I'll be able to sport it at this weekends MT Hammy meet

If I install the silencer it comes with, do you think I can get the ticket signed off?
