You know, that's been my latest hope. I have a spare EGR valve that I could just have sitting somewhere under the hood.. I was thinking of spraying all the piping and blue elbows with flat black so they don't stick out. Raise the car up, paint the stupid CF hood black. Just make it not look like a stupid racecar. I know refs know a lot but if I don't look like a menace maybe they will go easy and turn a blind eye on the nightmare under the hood if it passes the sniffer test?
It's a far shot, but it would be really cool to keep this car.

Never seriously consider legal advice from a cop. You can ask them to get them talking if you think it might benefit you in that case, but, they don't know what they're talking about, and even when they do, they may or may not tell you the truth, they are not obligated to do so, and have pretty much no reason to do so.
But yeah, if you make it look like it's got the EGR/PAIR/whatever, and if it can pass the sniffer, that's what I'd try to do, personally.
I understand wanting clean air, but there's no reason to judge it by anything but the sniffer, that is, how clean the air actually is. It's just malice on cali's part, and I assume there's cool refs who know that.
