im running no cats on mine and my exhaust is really loud if you do do a turbo set up i would suggest going with a quiter exhaust to attract less attention ... ive been pulled over 3 times in my turbo g due to my exhaust luckily they all let me go with a warning 
also they never made me pop my hood

i'm wondering about all the socal turbo G's and your trouble with the police.? is there any... if so, what kind?
when i got pulled over recently they made me pop my hood... if this were to happen again and i did have a turbo, what would happen? and if i had a vortech (carb legal) what would happen? thanks!

Your safest bet is always to drive in a manner to avoid police suspicion during normal every day driving, and to be picky about when you decide to push it, especially now that the police are really cracking down on motorists (due to this damn depression).

The cops cannot make you pop your hood. You can refuse.
Course they can impound your car, but that's rather unlikely, as they STILL have to get a warrant to look under your hood, even if the car is impounded.
MOral of the story is don't do anything stupid to get pulled over to begin with.

I don't see how its legal for a cop to, lets say, pull you over for running a stop sign, notices you have wheels and a drop, and asks you to pop your hood because your car looks modified.

Damn i want BOOST soooo bad... i heard that the Greddy single turbo set up is CARB legal isnt it?..
fuggen cali cops.. always messing with dumb azz shesils that you have on your car.. my friend got pulled over for having his 3k hid fogs on... lol.. cop said it looked ricy and suspicious... lol.. i was like wtf.. hahaha.. on a bone stock G... come on.. idk..
get black intercoolers for the stealth look.. just loose a bit of HP tho. but they look coo.. IMO..
wish cali wasnt so strick with it... but on the lighter note.. my 1970 mustang with direct pipes and no mufflers just some glass pipes is super cool with cops.. they even give me compliments on my exhaust.. lol.. funny isnt tit.. only reason i was ever asked to pop the hood was so the guy could get some ideas for his project car.. lmao... i was like wtf.. if it was my G.. ticket for exhaust.. tint.. and intake.. lol..

So what do you T/TT guys do every 2 years on your smog checks? Yank everything out then put it all back in? Seems pointless on trying to hide it from the cops if every 2 years you have to yank it all out. I brought my G from cali to MD (not really my choice) I got the TT installed here but looks like theres no way it's gonna fly with cali emissions. Might as well get a G8 or some **** once I move back. LOL Luckily I'm out here at least a few more years to enjoy the TT.

If you do not open the hood for them, they will first detain you. Then they will either get the warrant (which they can do very quickly) or more likely impound your car even if it is stock. Their philosophy is they still get paid, but you have a major headache on your hands clearing everything up, even if you are bone stock.
