I'd tell him his 15 years was a waste and that he should go back to school and learn to read and comprehend.
Reading from the beginning, I could already tell that the odds are stacked against that tard in Fremont. But good argument I hope that lunatic learned a thing or two from this experience.
Again special things to G35 Chippie and to the G35 community, I believe we have all learned from Ken's argument.

Good stuff... Some battles are worth fighting for and glad to hear you were persistent and finally won. Can only hope that supervisor learned something by this and after a little chat from his superiors.
Only G's I can think of being possibly different with # of cats would be the VQ35HR and/or G37
never seen under those. He could have been back pedaling too, not admitting full fault of his past ignorance and/or lack of knowledge. But did bring up an interesting possible point about that. Shop manual dia on those G's would disclose that fact true or if BS.
Yes can't go get pre-certif or tested on catback exhausts with State. Must get citation first. I know, I asked after I was pulled over for exhaust, checked under hood, etc and not given citation but a strong warning about mine (long story). Too bad can't do that. It would be one less worry on my shoulders while driving to be pre-certif with State on exhaust. Oh well.

Ken,
I gave my contact from BAR all the info you gave me. He is sending someone over to have a word with that referee and the manager as to what their problem is. He again stated no EO#'s are required for a cat-back system and he intends to drive that point home. He is going to make sure they have correct info on G35 exhaust systems and how many cats there are on a G35. As well as address his demeanor with clients. He will call me back Mon. or Tues. with the results.

WOOOHOO.. So yeah I passed mine too this morning. My tech guy is hecka cool. When I got there, first thing he told me, okay what will do first is your sound test. I thought this guy knows what he's talking about. Then I told him about this Fremont thing and he knew what was going on. He got an email with pictures of 350Z catalytic converters and take a look at that double checking that there are no 4 CATs for the G35.
Anyway, the tech guy likes Rachel's car. He did all the test and I passed with flying colors.
Can't wait for the results with that fremont guy.
