Stillen SC - put on your seat belts

Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha

Clearly you have no idea how a ref station works and what they can and can't legally do.

First thing is they can't pull apart your car for an inspection, that's illegal so they won't know what pulleys you are running, what impellers you are running, ect.
Secondly they have no way to check for a tune, all they do is run your car on the dyno and sniff the exhaust, if you have cats, you'll pass.

Please at least do research on what ref stations can and can't do before posting.

Oh and here is a question, if you get a ref ticket and you have illegal mods, why not pay the bail of $800?

Wouldn't that be cheaper over putting your car back to stock?

I never said they would take my car apart. I wasn't 100% sure if they could detect changes to the ECU that why I said "CARB injectors?". The pulley's they can technically measure and call Stillen (if they can get through haha). I've heard some can be anal and others not.

Test pipes would need to be changed (for emissions) and possible FI exhaust back to stock (for sound limits if over 95 db at a certain rpm)

$800 would be cheaper if I had a non-carb kit, but I have a carb kit already. If it happens more than once, it starts getting expensive. Depends on your luck and how you drive I guess.

honestly if you stay away from street races and dont drive like a jackass, you'll be fine, and there is no way to measure the pulley accurately without taking it off which would fall under taking apart your car, they also dont check for anything outside of what you were written up for(IE if you got a ticket for an illegal supercharger, they would only check for the supercharger and see if there is the carb EO on it)

i think you got smog testing confused with ref stations, ref stations are full of anal people who take their job way to seriously, smog shops can(and in most cases are) be lenient towards modifications
technically my eclipse doesnt pass the visual but since it passes out the tail pipe, the smog guy i go to passes me(as do most smog shops i have been to)
