Dual exaust in California
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...rmktdevice.php
As you'll see, they include 0/ZERO orders for mufflers.
Certainly, some of the largest exhaust manufacturers are listed, so they have the resources to submit for CARB EO, but they convienietly omitted to submit their mufflers.
An EO is not required because they are not part of the emission control system of any vehicle since 1974 when emission requirements were tightened.
You can dunk a horse's head under water, but you just can't make him drink.
I don't dispute the experience, but I don't think it's as influential as the hard data.
1. We know the police have been writing errant tickets. They've been proven wrong in 90% of the instances tested.
2. CARB and Federal EPA guidelines apply only to those motor vehicle parts which affect pollution control. Otherwise you wouldn't even be able to change the shift **** in the car because it's one of the parts included in the certification. [sarcasm off]
I've made no assumptions about you or who you are, seemingly, you feel free to determine all kinds of things about me.
I refuse to roll around in the mud with you.
There is a totally bitchin' dual exhaust system on my 83 el camino with a California BAR certification placard on it. Maybe you'd like to come check it out sometime.
Thanks

And what the f*** does a shifter **** have to do with EXHAUST??? That is what we were discussing. You are now taking each post and diving further and further away from the original topic to try to prove a point............will it make you feel better if I tell you that you are right and no one else is?
As far as any "evidence I have submitted"..........10 years of on the job work, including spending time going over these issues with District Attys, Judges and the like. What I have "seen" is ACTUAL live and in person court cases & events as they have unfolded in the context of laws being enforced........and as for Police writing "errant tickets & being proven wrong in 90% of the instances tested", I covered that.......you mention a website that may or may not have factual 100% correct info, while I on the other hand, have 10 years worth of real life street experience dealing with these very issues on a daily basis. Call me when you have ANY legal or law enforcement background or you can actually cite a case that refutes the CALIFORNIA statutes we were discussing.
Let's just agree to disagree because as I said before, I am tired of this back & forth with you, it is pointless. And I could not care less about a set of duals on an 83 El Co period. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? I have no interest in you, your car/s or "checking it out" as that would be fruitless and i am still perplexed why you seem so adamant to try to prove me wrong. But it is all good. I don't need to argue or a pointless topic that keeps getting stretched far beyond it's original intent every day by you in your quest to make a point.
You win, you ar right about everything in the world and I know nothing and am completely wrong about everything I have ever said. Now doesn't that make you feel so much better?

Thanks
Although I had the complete setup done....LT's, dual 3" cats, 3" x-pipe and 18" bullet mufflers over the axle and exiting at the rear..............my car (exhaust) is so low that if you roll a tennis ball underneath it, it gets stuck.
If you go with the TSP (or similar) duals, then you get no cats and better clearance but you have to deal with the smell & sound of dumped exhaust and no cats, which I didn't want.Good luck with whatever you choose and just remember that you have to get that thing inspected visualy & smogged every 2 years in The People's Republic Of Commiefornia.
