just got pulled over by the cops last night for no reason. he came down and said my exhaust is not standard and he asked me to pop up my bonnet. he looked at the hks bov and said it's illigal but then i said it's plumbed back though. then he said you lucky! <_< .. he then look at the fmic and said also that it's also illigal, because it allows more air thru the engine which is not standard! .. then he look at my pod filter which was totally sealled, then said it's illigal as well because you require a box around it not just enclose it with sheet metal/plastic which only for blocking the heat! ... it needs to be full enclose to prevent from sucking alot of air!
i was polite to him and everything but he tried to act as if he know everything! i told him that i had never have trouble with the law before but then he said "well i'm going to give you a fine and EPA will send you the form, and it will be your lesson to own an imported car which you should know they have been modified and it's my responsibility" .....
oh yeah, he also took a few pictures of my exhasut, enclose pod, fmic and BOV! <_<
1. can someone tell me whether our pod with CAI is illigal? and it need to be fully enclose like the stock box!
2. if EPA asked my to bring in the car should i put back the stock exhaust? i was told that with 3" turbo back exhaust from Liverpool Exhaust it would be complied, i'm lost.
