I Just Got State Ref Tonight....
Well it finally happened. I say finally because I've been pulled over like 7 times now for my exhaust so it was only a matter of time. But I had literally just sold my TV wall mount & was driving down the street & saw a group of police cars in a parking lot that had already pulled someone over. As I began to pass the cop shined his flashlight at me & I knew I was about to get pulled over! So the cop eventually gets behind me & pulls me over. Brings up that he thinks hes pulled me over before last year for my exhaust & no front license plate!?!? Mentions my exhaust & why I have it cut etc. Has me rev my engine, pop the hood & then has me get out to look under my car for cats (said my car sounds like it has some Nascar exhaust LMAO) long story short he writes me up for
27156 (B) Illegal emission (no catalytic converters)
27150 (A) Modified exhaust
So I've heard that I can either pay around $500? or put everything back to stock & see the state referee? On the back of my ticket there's a sticker that says State referee certification required no officer sign off? (section 43012 California health & safety code)
GOTTA LOVE CALIFORNIA!!!

I think its more around $800 if you dont want to change everything. I got an "Illegal exhaust" ticket. I have cats, It was just to loud. No State ref stamp. Changed my cat back to stock, CHP signed it off, and $45 processing fee.

Even a "Non Correctable" tint ticket can be corrected. All you had to do is take off tint, have CHP sign it off and Choose to see the judge. Judge will let go. No need to pay the non-correctable fee.

Ill probably just put back on all the stock parts which I've kept in my garage. Get it all past & then go with a different exhaust route.
Yea I read that somewhere also? Can anyone clarify that.......

As far as the sticker goes, you must remove your car off all public streets, Schedule a hearing with the state ref, You are only allowed to drive your car to the state ref.
