    f*%$ california.....

    trying to make my e21 smog legal and i have a shelled cat in the car currently.

    so i thought ill just have the whole cat back done while im at it.

    summit offers a nice 50 state legal cat, and a nice single to twin muffler, went to buy these items and every time i try and check out it gives me an error window.

    some of the items in the cart are not legal in CA.


    but the cat says its legal for california emissions in the god damn description...


    so annoyed!

                Just give them a call. I was going to say I buy non 50 state legal parts from them all the time but I guess a cat is not for "off road use only" lol

                  I said it in the other thread about this and I'll say it here:

                    Come to (austin) texas. You get a free handgun when you do... not because the state, I just so happen to have an extra one lying around ....


                    also no smog when you drive around the outside the cities ....

                    no smog....

                      Uh, I know someone who has an address in Nevada and travels to Tahoe just about every weekend. This person also goes to the Summit Racing store in Reno pretty frequently when going to eat at SüP on Sundays for their killer SüP!

                      Oh and yes California will try and bone you every chance they get.

                      I dont have to play the smog game any more and they can suck it!

                          this sounds like a good plan.

                          my aunt lives near austin, on the edge of lake travis.

                          maybe i should move in with her.

                            You can buy a PO box a register it in a non-smog county. You do realize that less than 20% of California is smog-required right?

                            It just so happens that 20% makes up about 80% of the population



                            Also; how is anyone going to know you modded the car or are running a non-OEM cat?

                              im not worried about the sniff testing.

                              im just pissed that i cant have it shipped to my house lol.
