Here's a fun fact...

for anyone really concerned about getting fined for having aftermarket emissions equipment...

offense:
Air Pollution Control Device Required = $340
Operation of Exhaust System With a Whistle-tip = $850

does anyone else find that funny?

this is not a typo. these are fines from the Placer County fee structure found here... http://www.placercourts.org/ftp/2004bail.pdf on page 36.

i'm still looking for sacramento county.

edit: the fines seem to be the same for sacramento county http://www.saccourt.com/traffic/Docs...20Schedule.PDF on page 41.

Driving through a residential area with a whistle tip is more obnoxious than driving through a residential area without a cat.

Just a thought, but who am I to be thinking?!
