I was handed a referee ticket last night for (Intake and nitrous system). No matter where I search...it is a run around..no definite answers. I tried searching an online vehicle code,and that was crap. Before I ask,remember when stopped I was pulling into a parking lot (where we usually hang out and eat). He has me pop my hood and...*edited by moderator*,only sights the intake (JLT cold air for 03 cobra) and my nitrous lines/nozzle. He has me pop the trunk and my bottle is the DISCONNECTED and EMPTY. Has not been used or even filled yet. The window switch and heater were as well unplugged. I even opened the valve to show it was empty. He still said it was illegal. I have been told by a chp officer over the phone and a buddy who is going into the academy who has studied well...that "A vehicle can be equipped with a nitrous systgem as long as it is inactive/disconnected and not within reach or located within the drivers cab." I have as well read the executive order to Nitrous Oxide systems INC...from ARB stating it does not effect the operations of the emissions control system.
Is this true...is it illegal to haev this system when it is 1.Disconnect and not active and 2.The bottle is empty(so no HAZMAT violation) ...yes or no? Explain please.
I just dont think its fair all the ricers get "fix it" tickets for more mods and shitty work,and I get a ****ing ref for having an inactive kit and a damn intake.
