Yeh, emissions law here in Cali are super strict. I'm scared to change my intake but i'll do it anyway once i can get it for a sweet price. I have an 07' tC. so parts for that car are still pretty pricey. I'm a college student and currently I hold no job. Feel me on that man!! Haha . .
But yeah, cops are dicks here as well. We can't even put the license plate on the dashboard to display it. It's not like you CAN"T see the damn plate on the dashboard . . so you can get a fix it ticket just for that!!! HID's are supposedly illegal . . prolly for every single state. Headers also. Damn, too many things to list.
I don't think it's nice here that if you are driving a modded exterior car with a few extra guages inside, they (pigs) will pull you over and ask you to pop the hood. It's always happening, whether or not you are with your mom on the passenger side coming home from grocery. They'll assume you're street racing . . as if they really do know what it is. Bastards!!
