|
I don't know about your state but in idaho it is right around there. Plus we aren't as anal about emissions.

it's not so much a $10,000 ticket as it is a felony. so in addition to recieving the $10,000 fine, you could also serve jailtime and it will go on your permanent record. but isn't it worth it for 20 extra hp?
i guess if you got pulled over at some illegal street races or something, that's the most likely time to get busted for something like not having cats, because they really want to crack down on that kind of activity. |
guess that means if i driving normal on the road will eliminate this problem from police right?
so... anyone here at CA running catless uppipe and downpipe? just want to know! thanks for reply ! |
Hi JundGdD, i am running a catless up pipe and downpipe, but then again, i'm running the stock muffler also.very quiet and i don't think the cops would suspect the exhaust as being modified.

hehe... peter... is you again... thanks for reply my stupid question all the time! you informatio are really useful to me. i think i am going to install my pipes soon... thanks again! maybe we can meet up some time! i live in walnut.
|
No problem JunGdB! glad i can help. there are meets every sunday at life plaza off of fullerton road.maybe i can see you there. see you around.

Most cops or all cops probably wouldn't know if you took off you cat for your subaru. They wouldn't know what they are looking for.

I am running a pde up-pipe and helix dp. Running catless stinks big time, but the gains can really be felt. I used to have an HKS hiper catback, but it is way too loud. I put my stock muffler back on and I don't think any cop will suspect anything.
Anyone wanna buy an HKS Hiper(couple of scratches) for $375 delivered in so. cal? It will be ready in 2-3weeks as I am going to order new gaskets/hardware and clean it up. PM or email me. Jay |
ok... if i am free on sunday i will go check out! what u guys do usually?
if u are not running with stock muffler, anyone ever been caught and got ticket of this situation?? or they don't even know about catless thing!? thanks for reply my question guys! appreciate... |
I feel sorry for you people.
I am sooo happy I live in a state where freedom still means something.
We can mod our cars Cops CANNOT look under our hood We can own guns AND carry them I guess the Constitution only reaches out so far west. Take my advice (or ignore it) and think about this the next time you vote. Then, start actively campaigning for better legislation. Good Luck, |
many aftermarket exhaust systems include "high flow" catalytic converters. i have the vishnu catless uppipe, MRT down, and midpipes with a stromung dual tip backbox. the downpipe and the midpipe both have "high flow" cats.
|
i have one cat on the up-pipe and straight pipe for the rest of the exhaust, very loud and i love it. no prblems with cops, but i am a smart driver(i know when to let it loose and when not to). do anything you want and make sure you have fun.

reading these post are making me more paranoid when driving. I am running a catless perrin up and helix dp. I also have a hks hiper axle back with the stock rear exhaust pipe. I installed the helix about a month ago. I havent gotten any hassle from the cops either yet. knock on wood. Usually when passing the cops i take the car into neutral or move to a higher gear.
do you guys think i should reinstall the stock muffler? Has anyone else experience problems from 5-0 with simmilar setup? |
no. my car is kinda loud its 3 inch back from the turbo
|
I have a vishnu up, invidia down, and greddy back. I got pulled over about 2 weeks ago for BARELY running a red (hence the sn) at about 4am but i did the whole I respect you bit by putting my keys on my dash and having one hand on the wheel and the other out the window and the cop told me that if I plan to run reds in the future to look out for cops first. When i started my car the cop came back to my window and told me he liked my car and how it sounded....no ticket but I get 10000 kick-ass points!
|
yeah, 3 inches all the way back to the nur-spec for I.
Dr. Dre says what about the police? |
cops do actually scope out the forums, they area always wathching.. wathc out muaahahaha

funny how this thread gets picked up a year later.
but yea, speaking of cool cop stories.. out here in valencia there are some really cool canyon roads. I was playing late one night around 2am and this cop followed me in.. I thought it was another guy out having some fun cuz he was right behind me and drifting like a champ. I figured if it was a cop he'd of pulled me over by now so I picked up the pace to see if he could keep up. It was a lotta fun but once we got outta the twisties he pulled me over and I was like ****.. he came up to the window and was all "what do you think this is the lemans or something?" I didn't say anything.. then he was really cool and said you gotta nice car and it was nice to see someone that knows how to drive it. I was like :D they aren't all so bad |
^^ No ticket??
|

|
Yeah, We ain't all bad.
MUH Hu Haw Haw Haw |

seriously...10000? Think about it. You can bribe your way out of murder-1 for that kind of loot. My friend got pulled over for have a pipe coming out of the headers on his jeep and an intake made out of pvc pipes, 'froading lights that were way too bright, tires outside of the fender flares, no rear view mirror, no liscence plate in the front, no liscence in his wallet, expired registration and a bunch of other un-holy stuff. YOu know what he got? A fix it ticket for everything on that list....grand total...35 bucks..how bout that?

In California it ranges from $500-1500. It is NOT a felony. I ran catless for a good year without any problem with the police. I've been pulled over more than I can count on both of my hands and not once did they check under the car. Since then I am now running 1 high-flow cat and do not notice any difference on the butt dyno. Just put one on and protect our precious environment.
|
i thought it was just a fix it ticket that held a 2k fine. i know its not a felony because by definition i know its not "one of several grave crimes." plus i dont think that police are qualified to be able to determine what is legal and what is not when it comes to parts on cars. they can say "modified exhaust" but they cant (without the help of the epa) say your car is over the legal carbon monoxide level. ie you have a hi flow cat. they can say that your car is lowered to much but they cant say that your cams are illegal. there just not able to make a professional call when it come to a lot of stuff.
at least thats what i think. <:)))>< |
Just thought id mention.... a friend of mine has got an RSX and hes got a carbon fiber hood, wing, etc. yesterday he got pulled over because the cop "suspected" he had illegal parts, he popped the hood and searched the rest of his for for about 20 minutes. sooo i guess the moral is, even if your not speeding, driving recklessly etc. you can get jacked, isnt california great!!!

cops can only give you a modified engine ticket for nos they can not give you a ticket for a cold air intake, headers only a state run smog station can but the officer can give you a ticket to goto a referee station by the way you don't have to open your hood unless they tell you they have probable cause then if you say no they will have to get a warrent with your name on it and the reason for looking under your hood so the moral is if you get a mod-engine ticket from a cop fight it in court
p.s. put the stock items back on before you goto court |

I go to agoura hills and mulholland hwy for canyon runs. funny story. did you get a ticket after getting pulled over? |
kind of funny how when the ferrari club down here in LA meets they have the cops close down streets on mullholand so they can race on it. i guess it pays when the sherriff Lee Bacha is a member. our tax payer dollers hard at work. you gotta love it.
