Ref just said, "they send everyone to us". It's a money maker for sure. SMOG check and then court fees. Judge just threw it out of court, but still payed $10 plus my day off.

BLegacy is correct.
My FIL is a smog tech and has told me that as long as the non OEM part works like stock it's cool.
What it comes down to is simple harassment by The Man.

I was ticked, but pretty much just had to roll with it. What sucks is I just came out of the installers garage and the cop was waiting. New exhaust and intake. He asked to pop the hood and said I pulled you over because your car looks modified. The dang car had stock wheels on it!

This guy was hellbent to write me a ticket for everything he possibly could because he didnt like my driving, he was looking at the engine & asking me why i had a boost gauge & said i must have a ton of mods hiding because i have gauges.... this was a motorcycle ***** btw. And appearantly he has eagle eyes because he estimated my speed at "70+" (thats what he wrote on the ticket) even though he was ~3/4 of a mile directly behind me (they must do some six million dollar man eye surgery on bike cops these days with built in terminator style speed readout). Im going to write them a letter contesting all the charges though.
eh that sucks. Well Rancho is known for street racing and sideshows.
I know one dude on this board who drives sunrise everyday to work and he's never been bothered by the cops. He's catless wiith a loud *** exhaust too.
I think I remember hearing about a road dyno being setup over there. (not the EQ tuning one but the real smog detecting deal)
