How were you cited? That's just scary. AutoTalent got rid of their X pipes when they moved. EAS may have some. I have one but I'm in OC.

I just PM'ed you. A drive to the OC is not a problem.

I was pulled over in Hollywood for loud exhaust and the cop explained that he has pc to pop my hood. After a tense conversation, I gave in and popped the hood. He cited me for supercharger and loud exhaust.

Met up with OP and his car is SICK. Matte black/black with orange stitching.
Good luck with the inspection.

I can lend you mines (free of charge). Even has two O2's for easier install.
You just have to pick it up and return it after you're done

That's the only downside for having supercharger...loud exhausts because you are kinda left with no options but to go catless. Had one on my old car and I'd have encountered a few occasions where they were performing smog check and i was luckily enough for not being pulled over, but i have to admit i was s*** bricks.

Mind telling us how much was the citation?

Well if he puts the oem xpipe and muffler back on and can pass smog then the referee should give his car the ok.

And yes that was me. Got some new mods , we'll have to catch up at a meet sometime !

forgot OP is reversing back to stock for smog, and hope that'd be the case!

And I'll definitely see you again at one of these meets this year as i'm looking forward to go a few after i get my car ready. Parts have been piled up for awhile right now and i'm trying to have them put on by the end of the month.

Hey Aus, well remember i'll need the helmet first as we spoke last time and the car most likely wont be ready by then bacause of some parts being backordered until very end of the month ( some differential bushings or some studs that i need replacement for if you recall). I do plan to hit you up when the time comes for the track.
