Intake BS, illegality Options

[Blur]

Got a ticket today for speeding and then i was asked to pop the hood for the cop who promptly told me that i my intake was illegal and i'd have to meet with a smog ref about the intake the mods on my car. I have the weapon r intake which i presumed was perfectly legal (i'm in CA) however after going to my local shop and talking to the owner i found out that this bulls_hit isnt legal....kinda pissed cuz now i have to go and buy a stock intake and then take my car into DMV and get it inspected. So for future reference for everybody in Cali, don't buy the weapon r cuz it aint legal! So what intake can i get now that IS legal for use in CA?

hey, this always happened to me, well got pulled over, teh chp told me to pop the hood, i told him i couldnt do that, and he asked me why and i said i rather not, they cant do nothing about it, if they start writing you up, go to the chp station and ask for a copy of the tape when they pull you over, they someitmes sue it agaisnt you in court for a loud exhaust , they did this on ym salt car, but if he starets writing you up cause you didnt want to, thake him to court, he only pulled you for one reason, jsut ask him what did i do wrong and be nice about, serisouly afterwards he was real cool about, they have nor ight to make you do that, my friends dad is a chp and i ask him about all my modifactions

yup, you are absolutely right. your car is considered property so cops can't search without a warrant or your consent. simply tell them you know your rights, and they will usually back off. learned that one after I almost got arrested... heh
