smog ref ticket!!

[sicwitit11]

Ok so I got pulled over last night and the cop gave me a ticket for loud exhaust and modified emmisions. (Intake system without carb sticker) he put a white ref sticker on the back and said I had to go a smog ref! Dam what's the best way to go about this? Not sure what I need to do.. thanks

[s13 @ fullboost]

stock exhuast and stock intake and go pay a visit to the reff and have him write you off

[S-Nation S13]

ref usually will db test your car as for the intake you either gonna have to get the stock one and slap it back on or spend a little extra to get one that has a carb sticker!!

if all else fails pay the bail= basically your just plain lazy to fix your mistakes !! if you go this route lol i got one not to long ago for "inadequate exhaust" and "craked windshield" fix the windshield and slapped the silencer back on i sprayed it flat black went to get inspected,passed,payed $10 end of story

O BTW THAT WHITE STICKER means your not suppose to drive the vehicle on the road unless your going to the ref i think they'll take your car from you if you get caught lol thats what the cop said to my friend

Throw your stock exhaust back on.

Intake, since it has the carb sticker on it, leave it on.

The Ref station will type up the number, match it to the car, and sign it off.

Once your car passes their smog test, you're good to go.

Take care of this as soon as possible.

The ref was closed down while I got a ref ticket. So, I only had 3 days to take care of my ticket when it was opened up again.

My car failed smog due to a bad cat, so I had to go to court and let them know what happened.

I have my court date for the 15th or so this month.

Going to smog my car(for registration) and take that paper to the judge.

Hopefully, he lets me off easily. My fine is $400 if he decides to bring the hammer down.

Dam!. Well I have a 3 inch catback so its pretty loud. If I throw I silencer in it will that be ok? Or will I need to put the stock exhasut? Cuz that would be a bitch. The intake is no prob easy fix. Thinking about gettin a better intake anyways A LEGIT 1 haha. Thanks.

Yeah, just put the car back to stock and pay the $15 fee or whatever.

But you are correct, getting caught while your car has a state ref sticker over it's head is illegal.

It's a driving offense. So you'll get a point on your license.

As well as the cop can tow your car for driving it around.

In reality you're supposed to tow your car to the ref... But nobody does that.

Just hope if you are pulled over on your way to the ref that they believe you.

An exhaust only takes a couple of minutes to swap.

I just swapped mine right now. Took 15 minutes.

If you want to play it safe, go fully stock.

You can throw on the silencer, but you have to make sure the car passes the sniffer test.

[sicwitit11]

ope you fail for sure i suggest completely changing egr system out just to be safe why fix one part to have the other part fail on you down the road!!

[cc4usmc]

FYI-If your cel is on you will not pass.

[Vision Garage]

yup yup. State ref can be a bitch. but if you pass smog, try to ask for the paperwork to prove it. It should be good for 90 days so you can use it to get your stickers!

[jbuckley]

this is why i fucking love texas.

[!Zar!]

Yeah who needs air quality...

[drftwerks]

we should be able to buy smog exemption

[s13 @ fullboost]

Yeah then the state will still get its money and have to use police to get money from us using bullshit ways like our cars being to loud " oh your car is tooo loud here is a ticket" thats bull shit

The officer told you what you needed to do when you got the ticket, you said so yourself...so why are you asking what you should do? Set up a time to go to the REF, they will help you with any info you need to help pass and get the ticket written off

[sicwitit11]

alright thanks everybody! dam Cali!
