I got canaried and the cop said i would get a epa notice or something, i have a 3inch exhausts from the turbo all the way thru, FMIC, Air Filter Apexi 1... and the letter EPA sent me was that... along with more but yeah.

"It is recommended that you restore your vehicle's emission control equipment back to the manufacturer's design to prevent further action."

So i don't get it... are they going to check my vehicle or just it is my first warning so if i get dicked next time they will check it ??

u may or may not have a EPA summons coming to u, u never know with them. Yes they keep on record if u have been submitted to them before and if u get caught again with them non EPA compliant mods theres a strong chance u will be fined

Adzmax; Nah the officer didnt take a picture of it, he didnt even put my air filter down on my defective notice just my wing and my ride height.

R31nismoid; yeah i already took off the air filter and it doesnt say that i have to get it checked just that i have to restore it back to stock ? so im thinking just the stock air filter or my whole exhaust system too ?

unless you have received a letter from the epa confirming an appointment to have it inspected ,you have nothing to worry about !!!!!!

It dosen't hurt to make sure you have all the stock bits and pieces handy if you do need to go to the EPA.

Word of advice, you are best off returning most of the bolt on modifications to stock to pass the EPA, including aftermarket ECU if you have one.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
