Default WATCH OUT s2ki members to Arcadia or Monrovia!

I just got back to the office and this is the first message I post.
Please be careful not to take Myrtle Ave from Longden to Huntington.
While I m driving to work this morning, I saw something flashing in front of me and I didn't know that its a mobile smog station.
There is a Mustang that looks fix up in front of me and I thought that I will be fine.
But the mustang is just moving forward and I got pulled over.
I m in a 2008 Camry and I don't know what the officer is thinking.
I think the chances of pulled over the Mustang will be better than pulled over a camry.
When the smog tech ask me what year it is, I said 2008 and he check my Vin then he just said you can go now without going to the smog test station.
So long story short, I heard that they have this in west covina a lot but its my first time to see that in Arcadia.
Lucky not in my s2k or mr2, if not, guess I will have a very sad day.

Kill the motor and roll on through if its a drive by one.

They can't pull vehicles over for no reason, this is ridiculous.

Kill the motor won't do it because everyone have to stop or drive real slow (5mph) there.
I m just surprise I got pulled over with brand new Camry.
Guess the officer hate me, lol

Sigh... what a load of crap.

I wonder if this is legal, stopping cars for no reason like that. Isn't that violation of "right of passage"? Does that not apply to driving?

.... to a degree, still a 3-5whp gain. Best bang for the buck you can do.

I LOL@ people who spend thousands on exhaust because the bends are ever so slightly better and then still have the exhaust routed through a cat that's as restrictive as a nun hosting a rock concert.

Most exhausts for the S2ki have more benefit in weight savings, sound, and cool factor.

I just think 3-5 whp isn't worth it anymore unless it's a simple air filter but that's me.

Test pipe is just the worst. Been there, done that. Smells like crap, bad for the environment, and potential law issues.
