Btw, in TX, you have to go through emissions testing EVERY year, so in that respect they're getting taxed more than us.

And if your Berk HFCs passed, you went to the laziest tester in CA, I have never ran into a lazy tester. Wait... Why did you even need to smog your car? LOL

On another note, damn you superior Coloradoian!!! LOL (I think I'm pretty cool in CA, lol, not ALL of us suck!!! ;-( If you ever need a place to stay, shoot me a PM)

I do love a good rant!

I grew up in California, all my best friends live in California and the people are fine and friendly and fun. Sorry if I implies otherwise. The politicians and politics and regulatory overreach in California are what suck.

The guys at my favorite mod shop in San Jose told me I I had any problems at smog, they keep some stock cats around to get the test done, but that they had never had a problem with a smog fail from Berk HFC's yet. (They do a lot of em) he also told my it era legal of your stockers were somehow damaged (like during removal? lol)

And now that you mention it the smog check I did was in Colorado, the guy said it was extremely clean and I was under the impression that since HFC work under lower dynamic pressure and flow rate, the were both more efficient from a fuel economy perspective (minor sure, but still) also they had more time to fully 'catalyze' the exhaust passing them, hence my more efficient and cleaner comment. Now they *are* loud so I guess noise pollution could be considered.

Thanks for the invite and thanks for getting a laugh from my rant.

Obviously I'm a libertarian.
