So well put Mel. It seems like out of state people and even in state people still have not figured out that basically any of the preferred installs of Japanese engines into our cars are illegal,all over the U.S. regardless of emission laws, period!
The moral here is, if your going to do something thats illegal, your going to have to live with the consquences of possibly getting caught for it.
Does that mean we condone all crime? No. Does it mean we rationalize a reason for us having some undeniable right to break the law? Well some of the people on this board feel that way. I can honestly say that yes I know and yes if I get stopped well shit I pay. I can also honestly say that yes I run a hi flow cat. Why? I feel that at least I can try and keep the car on the clean side so I am breaking the law in spirit but trying to do my part to keep the air clean. I am sick of the people inside of California and outside of California straight up disregarding emissions and emission output laws because they just don't like them. Man what a bunch of selfish shit. Global warming is a reality, we are on the front lines of the future of our world and our possible childrens world. The least we can do is at least try to keep our engines from putting out tons of crap. That said, yes I do not like the idea of atmospheric blowoffs.
Do I agree with the visual inspections? No. Though they are here and I have to live with that. At least I have a bit of peace of mind knowing I am doing something about my tailpipe emissions.
If you don't like a law, go to the democratic way. Write your congressman, get involved in politics, get petitions and circulate them for getting bills to change the rules, talk to Sema and participate.
Don't and a big don't just sit bitch and then break them and then cry how its wrong and you protest by just not even trying to do your part or participating in the process to change laws.
