Question Test pipe in California Have a question

Hey guys I'm getting a G35 in a month and I live in Cali if you live in cali do you have test pipes and I know I dont have to go through smog tests for 6 years do the cops give you any problems. Does it make the car very noisier will they find out that i have them I if you have one and havnt got into any trouble. I want to get some test pipes and exhaust can you tell me what companies are good and what will give me a lot of HP Thanx a lot.

some cops have gone through "street racing" classes and have been informed of what to look for. the chances are that cops won't be crawling under your car to find them any time soon, but if they know enough, they can guess by the smell of unburnt gas coming from your car.

as far as sound goes, yeh - it's noticeably louder. but not loud enough that you will get caught - so long as you know how to drive/control your car.

as far as test pipes go - look into fast intentions resonated test pipes.

as for exhausts - fast intentions, hks, stillen, etc.

note: keep in mind that you will have to do the non-fouler mod with test pipes.

I honestly would not recommend test pipes over HFC.

Get some FI HFC, and you'll be fine and satisfied.

I have FI resonated TP and Exhaust. I havn't had a problem but the car is noticebly louder. Very good gains/sound also.. I may have then change the Test pipes out for the HFC's because of the unburnt gas smell. It's not really that bad actually but I sometimes get nervous if a cop is around me.. I need to have someone else drive my car with me trailing in a car behind me so I can see just how noticeable the smell is from behind/around the car. We'll see..
