27150 (A) VC modified exhaust
27156 (B) VC mod. emmisions

The officer that issued the ticket also said that my car is out of service til i get it all fixed. He also said that in the event that I get pulled over by another cop, I would get arrested and my car would get towed. He took pictures of my engine bay. On the back of the ticket he put a sticker that says only the state referee can sign it off. It also says that my car must be removed from the roadway immediately and may not be driven til it is in compliance. I have a question though. I have no idea what I need to replace to get this ticket signed off. Is it just the exhaust? Are they going to check my smog? Here is a list of my mods.

Intake
Greddy FMIC
Catless Uppipe
Catless Downpipe
HKS exhaust
VF34
Greddy Blow off

 

ouch... sorry to hear....you'll need to replace your uppipe, downpipe, blow off valve back to stock...since you also got ticketed for emissions they'll check for your cats....also your intake if it isn't carb legal

 

u basically gotta go back to bone stock...state referees will look at everything....

 

Ive gotten one of those like 3 months ago! There going to smog you at the state reff! It sucks, Put It all back to stock! u might pass if u leave the uppie but not sure. Good luck

 

Wow, that sucks. Did he pull you over for exhaust and then add on the emmissions testing? I know another guy that went back to stock for the same thing.

 

yup everything that has to do with the engine taht doesnt ahve a carb number

never head of the picture though taht might come to bite you in the *** hopefully not

 

yeah, do they drive around with poloroids or what?

TitanWRX - fill us in on the outcome. I hope it all works out in the end.

 

Called the number on the back. They told me that they are going to do a smog check on the spot, check the sound level with a machine, and visually check the engine bay. My plan so far is to keep everything else on and change the exhaust from the catback back to stock. Also add a catalytic converter. Hopefully that will pass smog and the sound. Visually, I don't think thats really a problem because the Lancer Evo's have front mount intercoolers and they come stock in that form. Hopefully everything will work out just fine because I really miss driving my car.

 

Dang that suxs, I think you need the the whole stock DP to pass emissions but i onno about the FMIC thats pretty easy to spot. It sucks that the cop took a picture of your engine otherwise you could just put at least the stock TMIC back on.

 

honestly dont fck around with this if you dont pass and you have all this aftermarket stuff on there you will have a cannont drive on public roads on your reigstartion you cant register it.

put the stock cats on if your under 60k or something liek that or 100k i forget

 

you can just pay the ticket instead of fixing it.

 

I'm not trying to flame but you should read my original post once more.

 

Not trying to flame but you should read my original post again more carefully.

 

yyou cant replace the cats with aftermarket ones thats an automatic failure if its under xx,xxx miles

 

i received the same ticket in torrance. You don't HAVE to take it to the ref. There is a fairly large fine you can pay and it all dissappears.
