here (especially Cali) it's illegal to modify ANY thing that has to do with emissions. Cops will hassle you even if you have a DC header even though it's carb legal, but you can get away with it because it is carb legal. Basically if it doesn't have a carb number on it, it's illegal.

Oh yeah, just to tell. My buddy got cited for his AEM cam gear, how gay.

oh and just to add something else, people over here with their STOCK EVO's have been hassled for thier STOCK FMIC and STOCK monster wings and STI's have been also. Heck, bamboo got cited for his STOCK civic taillights (the half clear half red ones off the EK coupes). So it can get pretty gay on the west coast.

Cop- "you know clear taillights are illegal son?"
Me- "they are OEM sir"
Cop- "no they are not, those are them euro upgrade lights"
Me- "they have the DOT # right on them sir, they are OEM"

bahaha sucks to be all of you.

in my state the only emissions "control' is when you get yoru car inspected every two years, they look underneith it and see if thre is something that resembles a catalytic converter and then you are done.

No ----. All this "turbo is illegal" crap makes me laugh. 90% of our state doesn't even require emissions, and for the part that does, you're still pretty much guaranteed to pass if your car isn't running pig rich.
