That's ridiculous. I only get beef for my tints and they're at a legal percentage.

Search the 3G Performance Parts & Mods section for some info on that. There are a couple threads that outline the parts needed, etc. It is NOT cheap though, especially if you're paying someone to do the work. Probably better off trading yours for a 6spd in that case.

I've also noticed that while one person has 100%, another cannot. As much as I've been posting, it will not pass 99.9%.

idk... probably i would prefer not to find out but with the heat shields on, i dont think anyone would be the wiser

as far as your pc's, it sounds like your inspections can be a real pita. ask yourself if you want to deal with them failing you if they find them.
worst case ill just put the front one back on for inspection... idk. i want the extra power and want a little more exhaust sound, but dont know if i want to sweat every time i go to the inspection station.

I'm so glad we don't have to deal with that here, smog checks are bad enough.
