So i just got a 1994 EG5 as a bit of a project on the side and i got pulled over and defected for "not complying to exhaust emmision standards" due to my exhaust being a little loud and having a exposed pod filter.
I also got fined $143 and have to get my car emmision tested :S
Just a couple of questions:
1.Has anyone had to get there emmisions tested? if so how strict are they on passing a car?
2.After getting a stock air box and a quiter muffler put on what else would i need (new cat ect.)
3.The engine blows a bit of grey (kind of) smoke when its in high revs/vtec (maybe valve seals?), would this affect it passing the emmisions test?
4.Do you always get a fine with a defect?

Sorry for all the n00b questions guys.. but any info would be great
