hey does anyone know where a referee station is in the Sacramento, CA area? i have a megan racing exhaust on my car and i wonna see if i could get a certificate of compliance for it.

 

post this in your local section

 

Moved to South Pacific

 

 

there is no way for them to certify it. they will run if if it passes under 95 dba they will give u a paper saying so but that dnt mean ****. U can show CHP ur paper and it does no good

 

you serious?

 

cops dont even beleive it when u pull out carb product number sheets. lol

 

They are pretty useless, i took mine in to Golden West College in HB (referee) for an exhaust violation and they didn't test the DB because of the none "CA approved" cat. Technically you can't have anything not stock by law... meaning an after market down pipe, and/or headers is an instant fail... they didn't even care that my exhaust was GM Performance... Luckily the kid there loves cobalts (has a Cavalier and always wanted one) so he kinda hooked up me up i think... he put on the paper "no specs available for car refer back to court or issue agency" and said I'll probably have to pay the fine w/o correcting it. The thing is i just got it in the mail it's going to cost 390 bucks to pay it w/o correcting or 25 bucks if i switch my DP & headers and go back...

One good thing, the referee was FREE...

thanx man...i appreciate that

 

yes serious man cali sucks

 

i hate this state man...i wonna live in washington...where they basically have no sounds laws at all. where you can do whatever you want to your car and get away with it.

 

same with jersey. in new jersey u can run around with NOS hooked up and ready to use.lol

 

did you get a ticket..i live in manteca which is bout 45 mins south of you..and my car is pretty loud but i really havent had any problems knock on wood..my header is carb legal and so is my intake..i'm good there and if they say otherwise i will fight to the death cause its the was califonia said it has to be to stay legal...

 

I got pulled over tonight because the officer thought "My exhaust was too loud". I was coming back from the commerce and i couldn't help but laugh. We had a nice talk for about 15 minutes and he let me go.

 

i've been lucky not to get a ticket...yet...i've been pulled over 3 or 4 times...but i'd say im really good at "sweet-talking" the cops. lol. if your cool and you admit that yeah you know its not legal...they let you go. unless you get some old *****...lol

 

been pulled over 4 times

4 tickets

 

dude that sux...im assuming each time was for your exhaust?
