The ticket was for my "muffler" and no carb sticker on my intake.
At least he didn't write you up for not having a front lic plate
And how did he know ur intake didn't have a CARB number? U were the one at the meet talkin bout u don't have to pop ur hood when cops ask??

I just find it interesting that the same thing she tried to call me out on happened to her a week later. At least her car wasn't impounded like mine was.

I tried telling her also but some people need to find out for herself. and i did go to my parents house and ask the 2 cops that live on their block, so i hope it is good info.

A little old and I have been meaning to post this one...
About 2 weeks ago at the car wash at the Bel Air off 5 at Arena was a black Nismo.
I was in mine and kinda saw it after doing a double take. First time seeing another Nismo on the road. (err.... car wash...

Seems like the laws just keep getting tighter and tighter for enthusiasts.
I'm curious as to whether the fix tix given requires both her intake and exhaust to have a CARB number?
In my experience you can have an exhaust w/o a CARB number as long as u don't have a test pipes or delete ur cats. I assume that is prolly still the case. If she still has her cats she can prolly fight the tix w/o pulling her exhaust. Fighting the rubber hangers is
What exhaust is she running? The exhaust tix might really be for excessive dBA.

if your parts dont have a CARB sticker you have to take the car to the referee to get it smogged if you pas they give you the stickers to put in the door. any mods to intake except drop in filter need CARB approval any exhaust not offered by manufacturer as either standard or optional equipment must be CARB approved.

Oh I just posted a thread on the ZONC north meets south meet, you see it yet? It looks like it would be bad ***, especially with a caravan on those beautiful costal highways...
