god, some folk are frustrating fucktards! Rolling Eyes

*sigh*

why am i compelled to explain myself exactly? so what if "cops searching 1100 pages of shite" couldnt find what they were looking for? ...the ellusive 'defects for dummies handbook" ? this proves what?

wheres the proof you ask?

and where exactly is the 'proof' in the big anecdotal spiel at the top of the page?

fact: ADRs are dictated for all modern vehicles.
fact: Engines are required to meet strict emissions guidelines.
fact: ANYTHING that 'might' alter the vehicle's compliance with either the relevant ADRs or emissions needs to be checked by either a) an RTA authorised engineer, or b) and EPA authorised emissions facility for the latter, or BOTH

if any modifications do NOT comply with relevant ADRs or emissions standards, the vehicle needs to be modified in accordance until satisfactory.

as such, ANY modification to the intake, exhaust, engine control, or internals can potentially alter the vehicles compliance with any or all of the above - in particular emissions output.

A POD FILTER one one such modification to the air intake system that may alter the engines emissions output, and thus would need notice by an engineering signatory, plus an attached emissions report.

now it is totally unlikely that a pod filter alone will cause any change in emissions, BUT the fact that it is NOT oem, means that it might be possible that such a change has occured, and if the cops want to pick on you for something - there it is on a platter.

and how in god's name do i KNOW all of this? cause i just went through the whole fiasco! 2 engineers, 2 defect clearing stations, one independant emissions facility, 1 rta emssions testing facility, and the RTA stand alone. not cause i got busted, but because i want my engine to be squeaky clean and legal.

ULTRA TUNE SAID SO is such a fuckin lame statement, and you want to rest your laurels on it?

get a clue dude
