i just got a ticket for my header but the cop made it so i have to go to the stste referee and get it certified for emissions. what exactly are they going to look at? are they just gonna make me have it tested for emissions and see if it passes? the ticket citation is cited as "altered emissions systems" violation or somthin like that...will my car be ok with a skunk2 catback and stock header/downpipe and stock cat?

02BlueAccord's photo gallery 		yeah you should be able to pass easy. if u had straight pipes with no cats then that would be a whole differ story

I can see noise violation maybe, but it doesn't sound like that's the case. I think Minnesota law is it can't be louder than 93dB @ 3000 RPMs @ 1' away from the exhaust tip.

19Accord97's photo gallery 		That is so stupid.
It shouldnt matter what you do to the exhaust as long as it runs through the factory cat.

Good luck man.

My guess is that is should pass just fine.
The stock cat is still there. Is it the oem exhaust or what?

RTexasF's photo gallery 		The OBX header is not C.A.R.B. approved correct? If there is not a sticker under the hood showing it's CARB exempt you will likely have to remove it and replace with stock or a CARB exempt header.
