Got pulled over... AGAIN!!!
C.A.R.B. numbers are particular to the manufacturers and the legal parts they supply us with. The number is entered into the testing machine when the check is done and has to match a visual inspection as well as test parameters for the type of car and part added. If it was that easy we would have done it a long time ago.
I really doubt it son, unless your ready to have your *** kicked by a CHP, your face stuffed in the pavement and your car towed to an impound. I really don’t think your ready to go three rounds with these guys along side the road. 
Whats "probable cause" to you being modded. That sounds like total BS to me, its basically a search warrant. They cant just pull over your car for looks and tell you they have reason to believe you have modded parts, thats straight illegal. Just like you cant follow someone home to the ghetto and be like, you're in the ghetto we assume you have drugs we have a warrant to search your house. Doesnt work that way. Although I don't know the laws and how to handle it appropriately, I would be shocked to hear that a judge would say that a cop can simply walk up to car by looks and say "I think your car is modded, I need to examine your engine bay".
A buddy of mine that just got out of the marine corps is a cop now in L.A.
I hear it from the horses mouth bro, some cops will harras you about anything. From loose body parts on you busted vehicle to that huge 3 ft ricer wing. If the cop pulls you over and asks to see your engine he already knows.
Simple- Let say two 240SX's one modified- exhaust,kit,agressive wheels...etc.... and a bone stock one both get pulled over for speeding.
Ok still with me, the bone stock one will most likely get a ticket or a warning.
The modified one, he will be asked to pop his hood.
So when I say they can make you pop your hood just because the cop feels your car is illegaly moded he can search. Ask a Lawyer and get back to us on this , guaranteed they will tell you the same.
Hell just for having a AIR BREATHER they will harass you.
And like i said before ,this cop doesnt know the diffrence between supercharger and turbocharger but he does know "BLING" .
"BLING"-
shiny parts- IC pipes ,manifolds, polished intakes manifold will make them go OOOOOOOOOOHHHH
gauges,shift lights, roll cages, tint
air breathers
round intakes
headers
NO-CAT!
FREAKING COLORED VACUUM HOSES WTF!!!!
and the ubber obvious exhaust
Yup thats what everyone is starting to do. A buddy of mines got pulled over in his r33 skyline , simply because he got everything powdercoated black there was nothing for the cop to put on him.

Of course this all moot as I would never drive my Evo into that state (and yes, I was born in LGB and lived in Gardena for on and off for 10 years) I hate Cali and avoid that state like the plague.
I don't think you understand anything about your rights and driving a car in California althemean or anywhere else for that matter, you just think you do.
Lawsuit, thats a laugh, shows how little you really know about terms of engagement with a police officer. 
To tell you the truth, I don't think you could carry their lunch on your best day anyway.
you tryin to get me spooled up RT
Lets just say I understand my rights as a free man as laid forth in the Constituiton by our founding fathers. I understand that the misinterpretation of these rights over time is what brings us to our current situtation today.
You're right. I would never carry a cops lunch on my best day because I hate the police. To me...It sounds like you are the one who is afraid to exercise your rights and stand up for your freedoms. I am not afraid to go to jail or die for what I believe in.
By choosing to allow an illegal search of property it only reinforces the misplaced authority that the police have. By refusing to state you know your rights is nothing more than giving them up without a fight and allowing the violation to occur.
This is OT so I will say no more.

^^^its only a matter of years until the whole country gets all smog-crazy and every state will have smog and ref stations! Mark my words its a easy way for the goverment to get money off the hard working american tax payer!
Read SEMA SAN and you will see "MR HANCOCK" state rep of some sort trying to pin new laws for vehicle modifications and noise levels.
Its getting so bad that dragstrips are been closed for noise ordanace! You would think that a track will close down due to financial reasons right , nooooo most of them are due to locals and county reps that think its a horrid noise maker.
What about them Harleys, hell from factory they are loud. Louder than 83db at cruising. Yet wheres the laws for that.
