I would get a TP, but the fines here in CA I hear are very steep if caught! So its not worth it for me. By the way, whats bad about the vtec controllers? I have one, but didnt install it yet. Anything I should know? I do have a pro tuner ready to install it.

If you are worried about California then get the T1R Test pipe that lets you put the Cat shielding on it to make it look legal

ya I thought about that but I heard the brackets dont fit fully perfect or they brake off easily or something. But I'll look more into it, thanks

I used the claybar tip on removing bumper stains.

Worked great!

But I can actually breathe and my clothes don't stink.
Seriously? I haven't had that bad of a smell. Like I said in another thread once before though, I'm used to riding a 1000cc triple cylinder snowmobile so the TP smell is WAY less by comparison.

I reinstalled my TP yesterday and immediately the difference in throttle response and what FEELS like acceleration improvement is noticeable. Smell is minimal as my buddy was driving behind me today and smelled a little something but not worse than the bikes he's had.

A small number of vehicles have a CEL. Using the anti-foulers very often solves this.

The resonator is a sound-related component, not emissions, and it doesn't effect the CEL.

Had my invidia on for a couple months, smelled a little. Not bad. Putting it back on for tuning my vtec controller
