newbie need help! Police told me to see state referee
Few nights ago, I've got pulled over with my wrx, because of tinted window but officer did not give me any ticket for it. Instead he ask me to open up my hood and told me to see the state referee, because of modified big pipes from FMIC and bigger turbo,also AEM short ram with k&n airfilter. Officer just mentioned about big pipes and airfilter only nothing else. Is short ram with k&n airfilter illegal too?
And he also wrote down loud exhast. I have catless catback exhaust system. I can put origonal exhaust system back on, but I am not sure what I need to do under the hood? Any suggestion????? Please let me know.

then go get an appt with the state ref in alameda.
if you pass smog, and you should, you'll be ok. I don't know what the fine is reduced to, but it won't be much.

basically you're lucky he didn't tag you for missing cats. Not fun.
I'd say this. The state ref isn't stupid. They will catch everything that does not have a C.A.R.B. cert tag on it. If they happen to be cool they will let some things slide but I wouldn't risk it. With my old civic I passed with a cam/cam gear and an AEM cold air with no tags...painted it. But the guy knew what it was...seen them before..haa.
anyways. If it doesn't have a cert. Take it off.

Thanks every one!!!!
I have big problem, I don't have stock parts. All I have is stock dp, up, midp and exhaust.
That means I need to buy all the stock parts!!!!!! NOT GOOD.
