I got sent to the state referee today
I got sent to the state referee today I just got pulled over for no front license plate, and from there he made me pop open my hood because of my loud exhaust. He gave me a ticket for modified exhaust and i have to take it to a referee to get it inspected. Im going to have to return my car back to stock now. This is going to be the first time for me going with the referee. I heard that they are very picky with any aftermarket parts. My car is a 98 and it has a ls6 manifold with egr hookup. will i have to swap it back to ls1 manifold to pass? I dont want to get sent back to fix something. I want to get this taken care of as soon as possible.

I was pulled over by Salinas CA. How much would the fine be? I got pace longtubes with the egr connections, high flow cats. the car passed smog with this setup as I explained to the cop, but he couldnt fine the carb # on the headers.
27156(b) vc modified emissions referee certification required, and on the back it has a sticker state referee certification required, no officer sign off, and I cant drive my car until in compliance.
The cop said that the referee was going to verify if my exhaust was legal. the thing that pissed me off even more was that me and the cop work for the same city and the next day I saw in the shop when I was working. He asked me about my truck for sale he didnt even know who I was until I reminded him about the ticket he was speechless

damn, i need to be on the lookout more often now, **** is getting crazy in cali. I thought i just had to worry about smog every two years, now i have to worry about modified exhaust part tickets? i thought certain aftermarket parts were okay in cali? You would still fail at the ref. if you JUST have a muffler change?
According to this Statute, every single speed shop would be out of business!!!

yeah cali really sucks i was thinking to put some fake carb plates on my headers after this so if i ever get pulled over again, i dont want to stay stock. does anybody know what happens if you get sent to the ref again for the same thing again? has that ever happen to anybody here?
Ive gotten like 3 of those tickets...
first take the sticker off the ticket and see if a cop will sign it off if not just pay the ticket...

I just got back from the refree, my car failed because I need stock cats for a 98 and the ones I had were from a 00. My car passed smog though, and I was surprised he didnt say anything about my ls6 manifold. Anybody know where I can get stock cats, ypipe, for a 98 for a cheap price? I got rid of my stock parts after having them taking up space for a long time 
If I knew this was going to happen I would of saved them.
