Cop said I cant have silicon hoses?
Glendale/Burbank is a dangerious spot. But again, in 3 years this is the first time ive been pulled over for no front plate. Ive also been pulled over because the cop thought I was under the influence. Which I wasnt.
Plate on the dash is not a good idea.

The only thing that the ref will make you change there is your intake system. Apex'i intakes don't have a CARB number/sticker. Intercoolers are NOT illegal to change and the couplers are fine.
You might wanna put the air pump back on too. They'll bust you for that if they are smart. I can't really look around your engine bay but your sig says "restrictor plates" I'm assuming that means emissions block off plates. Those are illegal too. If you do get sent to the referee put your emissions **** back in, leave the intercooler and you should be fine.
And put your front license plate on.

Its funny how police treat modified cars sometimes. I mean shoot, Brismo's hood got popped and the cop asked if his car was stock and even said "Corvette" across the valve covers in his MAZDA.
Stock airbox probably won't fit with that piping setup. Not even sure the CARB approved HKS stuff will fit in there either.
The intercooler itself is fine but if you can't get that intake stock or CARB approved they'll flag you for it.

I did pull the carb sticker off my friends wrecked miata and slapped it on my intake. Thats why the cop didnt say anything I guess. But it is risky. I didnt know HKS was carb certified. Gives me a reason to pick one up.

god, cops are getting dumber and dumber.
from a smog tech point of view, meaning i know WAY more than 99% of cops on whats legal and whats not, the only thing that you MIGHT get nailed for is the twin power. thats it. if an intake doesnt have CARB numbers, its not "legal", but seriously, who the **** cares.
YOURE FINE, hes just a moron. let him write you a ref ticket, take it to a ref with your setup (put the air intake back on), get it ok'd, then go back to the cop and throw it in his face......
or just go to his boss and tell him hes discriminating or however you want to spin it.
******* cops. heres a fun stupid bill they proposed. higher level cops to be sent to smog classes to learn about emissions and whats legal and not. i LOL'd hard when i heard that.
also, the front licence plate is ******* BS. my neighbor has a GTO and another neighbor has a chevelle, neither of them get fucked with, but i do all the time driving my 7. oh well, just deal with it, welcome to california

edit, just re-read the thread. you might want to put the air-pump back on if you get sent to a ref, just to be on the safe side.

I have over 20 years of law enforcement experience (the biggest gang on earth) so I told my fellow gang members to be on a look out for "Armenians" in Glendale who are driving a FD. Give them tickets left and right since they got the dough. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Only certain HKS and K&N cone filters are Carb certified. Need to check you got the right one before buying.
LOL thank you for the info, and O yes THATS BS, just because we drive a killer looking car that's not American we get singled out? WTH!
PS went to Starbucks again to day 3 cops right outside the drive though as usual all standing and talking no one even looks at my car, I wonder whats going to happen when I change body kits and get a paint job?

One thing I've learned from all this, I'm selling my Duncan Donuts stock and buying Starbucks A clear shift in their "primary" consumer demand.
heres my setup
the hks intercooler should be legal, its just 1 letter off from what the carb paperwork says on the carb website. The custom intake would not be legal.
i picked up a 2nd hand hks fc3s kit on ebay *which should also be legal*
Now I can still get shitted on because to a cop, it doesnt matter if he is right or wrong, they would just tell you that "If I am wrong, the ref can correct it for you" blah blah.
So i been rollin around with a gutted airbox lid
Bottom completely removed, just sits above the intake, got ducting to the area too from the bottom.
I havent been pulled over yet, but i only drive to school right now.
I hate the airbox lid but i just rock it as added insurance.
I really like how empty the engine bay looks without the airbox lid and my strut bar.

If it has a CARB sticker they won't bother you for it. Intercoolers are not illegal to change.
I like the gutted airbox though that is pretty smart thinking. Even though the intake is legal, it'll make them think the rest of the car is stock too.

^^^damn funk, i guess the guy didnt care. its kinda funny, guys who will smog sports car and such imho know a little more about cars and are in general WAY easier to deal with, i guess cause they know that BAR isnt going to run an FD or vette or something like that in as an undercover.
meh, thats cool. when i had my mistress, the guy smogged it no problem, even with a filter on the smog pump and a HUGE cone filter on the AFM.

wow.............i stand corrected.
to the OP. print out that pdf file and keep it with you, just in case you get pulled over and hastled, if you show them that, there is NO way they can ticket you. theyll back off quick if you had legit paperwork for mods...........i hate cops when they flaunt power and cant back it up with brains.
