Police Ticker $$ For Test Pipes?

[Gimli G35]

Lol TICKET , keyboard glitched

has anyone gotten a ticket for having Test Pipes on their car? .. if so how much was the ticket ,

Thinking about getting test pipes but if the risk of getting caught is very high , i dont think ill risk it

[ugaexploder]

if you have emissions testing in tucker, ga then maybe you shouldn't do it. but my car is registered in columbus, ga when i really live in midtown. so i can do whatever i want to my car since the car is registered down there.

$71.50...i don't have them but i know.

thought they were going to say like "Harming Enviroment - $950" lol

Thank you very much

Or you could just use a high flow catalytic converter, and the next generations will actually have grass and trees to look at. Test pipes are one of the most irresponsible ways to gain "power"

once i get my G , im turning in from NA to FI , and HFCs are somewhat restrictive I dont want to have too restrictive pipes where i have tons of back pressure

Unless , there are HFCs that work very very very well with a FI system

[04G356MT]

Stillen just released some HFC's im waiting for someone to bring them up and see how well they work

(Edit) And after posting this i decided i would go check them out. Stillen says that "They are a step up from test/race pipes, and are more enviromentally friendly, BUT are not CARB legal and are for off road use" anyways... but EverythingG says about 9hp from the HFC's.

Oh yeah for sure. I understand totally. Better to squeeze out those last couple of horsepower at 7000 rpm, and pump lots of nitrogen oxides and cancer causing unburnt hydrocarbons out your sweet dual exhaust. The VQ is lacking power anyways, so you really badly need to get the most out of it.

/sarcasm

You don't even have a G yet. Can you even drive? a 16 year old with a 500 horsepower rear wheel drive car. Sounds like a great idea.

HFC is better than test pipes, even if they aren't carb legal. Maybe they just haven't bothered going through the process to get them certified.

I cant drive? .

My current car is an 02 Nissan Maxima SE, i love Nissan , but hate FF cars ill go see if anyone has ever gotten those Stillen HFC (Off-Road use , guessing just like Test Pipes (Track Use) but with less meshing\element as a normal HFC)

--- edit ---Btw , most TT systems on a G , wont do 500 Hp , more of 400-440 Hp without major modifications,

I don't think he'll be killing the environment much with his 3.5L engine

Here is a cool fact: a riding lawnmower puts out more emissions than our cars do without any emissions equipment!

Anyways, the original poster may want to set up a car for track purposes only...don't jump the gun!

Lawn mowers put out more emissions than our VQ's ???? ... well that gives me a semi good excuse to not mow the lawn

Hahaha, I am sorry but that is a really dumb way of justifying anything. Buddy Joe serial killer killed 25 people, so it ok for me to kill one. Think about if everyone ran test pipes, how that would contribute to the problem? People seem to have this idea, that their one little car is insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it is when a bunch of people all make the wrong choice that we have a problem. As far as I am concerned, global warming is a crock of ****, but NOx emissions are a real and deadly problem.

Yeah man, next time your mom tells you to mow the lawn, tell her you are taking a stand for the environment, and you want your grandkids to be able to breath properly. Hahahahaha.

[joe603]

I'm not justifying anything. But we need to get real. If we were all THAT concerned with the environment, we'd all be driving mini-cars that get 50-60 mpg.

CO2 is the culprit, and you're right, it is a big problem. Hell, If I lived in Canada, I'd be pissed too! All that pollution just floats up north. You can't even eat the fish caught in Lake Ontario anymore! (I used to live in upstate NY)

And you're also right about global warming, it's a crock...Global Climate Change due to the effects of global warming however is real. But I digress...this is not the place to discuss. So lets just try and help out the young (and old) without the sarcasm.

By the way, I love your sig 240

[bone_stock_240]

You should watch the Great global warming swindle. It is the whole greenhouse glass global warming thing, presented without the al gore political motivations.

Yeah, if we really cared for the environment, we would take public transit or drive econoboxes. That is a little far fetched, and would require lots of upgrading to the infrastructure. Small stuff though, we can do. But either way, enough of the thread jack on my part.

hahaha, thanks, I worked hard to steal that from someone, and remove all traces of their name on it. Let us just hope that "Zephyr" does not come on to Nico.

[fatire_mtb]

it certainly can't be that the sun is getting hotter.

[thechronic]

our cars barely do anyyyyything in the grand scheme of things. plants emitting excess CO2 not converted and volcanoes and a plethora of other occurences are what causes global warming or harms the environment

[Gimli G35]

Also basically most cars that have mods involving intake \ exhaust are putting out too much for the CAT to handle so either way ... almost everyones car is harming the enviroment,

Your 240 just to let you know , is not helping the enviroment a single bit ... so how about we just drop the subject about the GW and just settle that whatever goes into a car is just cranking up the throttle on GW by a wee bit ( that is that the G is a small cause) ... If "YOU" were so much about saving the enviroment , WHY ... are you driving a Petro burning car? why a 240? why not a PRIUS \ Smart car \ a Bike \ or even a Alternative fuel car ....

Just have to admit , everyone that drives a normal PETRO car is harming the enviroment , Even 18 wheeler drivers have better than us now , they have Corn based GAS ....

---PS----A car will put out as much emissions as a LAWNMOWER --- only if we drive about 90MPH for an hour ....

[smockers83]

with not going into any details in respect of what joe said, in the grand scheme of things, that is completely wrong. just look at the facts, i think you'll be surprised.

i drive a G too so don't go thinkin i'm a tree hugger or whatever.

[kdfja1]

I have test pipes and i must admit they are NOT good for the environment, if i had the time and wasn't so lazy i'd acutally remove them. WHY? cuz they smell like S H A T. my exhaust is also beginning to build up CO2 residue and i know for a fact that everyone around me can smell them too.

however other cars and machinary do kill the enviorment more than my VQ35 catless ie, Ferrari's, buses, any construction machine, hell California highway patrol has nos in them lol

so this argument can go both ways.
