State Referee

richeerich03 · 03-23-2009, 05:08 PM

I got a ticketed yesterday for tints and for my intake..

Fuckin CHP and LAPD pulled me over in front on the LA convension center. That area was a trap because of the DUB car show.. Fuckers took a shit load of pictures of my car...

Do you guys know if the injen intake is CARB legal? I got to go to the state ref on friday...

But when I turned around, there was a line of cars pulled over..

E90RYANJB · 03-23-2009, 06:20 PM

sorry to hear...got a ticket for my tints last week too.20 bucks to remove it and another 25 for the fix it ticket.if you dont mind me asking,how much its gonna cost you with the intake? i'm planning to install an intake this weekend and this is making me hold back.

wj4 · 03-23-2009, 07:53 PM

Not uncommon, they used to post up after HIN several years back.

If your intake is not CARB legal, just revert back to stock and you're done. If it is, just put on the CARB sticker on your intake and you're good to go. If you don't know if it's CARB legal or not, call the company that made the intake.

AV9 · 03-23-2009, 08:08 PM

i think the injen is carb legal...pm bobby, he should be able to advise you

lookylookitzadam · 03-23-2009, 08:20 PM

According the CARB website ( you can search for companies that have done the Executive order process to get certifications) injen is not CARB legal/compliant.

http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php

just search that site by manufacturers and you can see injen last updated items in 2004.

just swap back to stock. It sucks because now you are tagged for Smog Only Stations when you have to smog you car

t0eknee_C · 03-23-2009, 08:24 PM

damn that sucks... be thankful you don't have any other major mods on the ride... the intake should be easy to swap out.. so yeah just put the stock on back on and it will be just like a fix it ticket.

would be a bitch if you had full exhaust and what not

+1 on this. and hopefully it wont be hella trouble because that would be a PITA.

Peter@VMRWheels · 03-24-2009, 03:57 AM

Whoa... cops must really be behind on their quotas. If you don't have a CARB # for the intake then it is a 5 minute swap plus 30 minutes wasted at a state ref. When I went with a different vehicle these guys literally tore up half of my car's upholstery to check for hidden modifications.

I was going slow.. I made a right turn and he was chillin just waiting for me.. he tried to get me for my dinan exhaust, but I bull-shit'd him and told him that it was from BMW.. When he asked me if I had any mods to the engine, I told him no. That is when he wanted to see under the hood. I opened it and he looked around a bit and didn't really see anything. His buddy came up and made a comment about the intake pipe looking really expensive. That is when the cop wrote me up...

They are pretty lame, a bunch of bicycle cops rolled up. i heard them talking about how it is carshow season and how a bunch of them will be working overtime at up coming events...

Peter@VMRWheels · 03-24-2009, 01:47 PM

LAPD... They also write you license plate tickets if your car is parked without one.

hjhgj · 04-05-2009, 12:41 AM

Rich, i am in same situation.

I was at HIN today, got pulled over because Dinan exhaust.

Cop knows about Dinan but he stilll says its aftermarket mod.

I need to go to State referee Certification.

What should I do? is it illegal to have it?

Actually I bought this car From BMW Mountain View and I am

the second owner for this car. The first owner changed to

dinan exhaust. Should i go talk to Dealer or Dinan???

Please Help

XDEEDUBBX · 04-05-2009, 01:07 AM

even though it is carb legal, they will more than likely do a DB test under the hood and ou the rear of the car...

lookylookitzadam · 04-05-2009, 10:22 AM

If its carb legal contact the manufacturer. They will have to have their EO (executive order) numbers and statements issued by C.A.R.B. on file and will provide you with them. Then just take that paper work to the ref station and show them that the paperwork and the numbers on your parts match and your good to go. You can also look the numbers up by company on the link i posted above.
