So i'm guessing the fines you pay are in the thousands? I've always read that emission violations are like $10k fines.... is this true?


Anyone actually been to the ref?

Yeah, he didnt physically check for my cat... my car is too low to see anything anyways. If I come in with a cat in place they wouldn't know a difference.

The BOV I can turn around 180 degrees and route a pipe into the intake.

Question, do smog stations or state ref's actually test for EGR? Not just the sniffer... but test if EGR is working or not... because i'm pretty confident i can pass smog with no EGR.

Question #2, do I go to court or state ref first? Is it possible if I show up to court with information about my cat-back and filter the judge can drop these offenses?

If you get an **** ref, anything not stock (looking) will fail visual.

Not exactly stealth mods if you are trying to avoid being hassled. I would consider myself lucky to get a fix-it..............
