Thanks man! Ya I'm sick of recon too. That's why I got a bunch of modified suspension tickets in high school! Lol!
And the inspector was probably the same weight as me, 130 or so. Ya I'm a smaller flip. Hehe. But his bounce test compared to someone heavier would have different results. That's why it's a bunch of bull. Ah, at least he passed me. I guess I can't complain.

cool beans. You should join the Edition808 group on FB. Seems like the main way everyone is communicating, nowadays. There isn't too much traffic on this subforum.

Do I need Recon for my Recon Drone?

rasibert · 05-11-2013, 09:40 AM

Nope, it's included with purchase.

Moving from Hawaii to Cali was just as much a PITA. Recon is "required" for modded cars but alot of people get away with it. I lived there two years with a lowered MK4 and MK6 with no issues. As for Cali, there is no skipping out on smog.

Hey, going to HI mid-2018. Has anyone you know failed recon for having an exhaust that is deemed too loud? I have a Beluga Racing exhaust and APR DP. It is sorta loud on WOT, but somewhat quiet otherwise.

Thanks in advance!

javiersan, the guys I knew never had an issue with their exhaust being too loud. I remember the main reasons for guys getting recon were for lowering/raising the car, tint and/or rims. Although, it's been years since I've looked into the recon requirements so I'm not too much help. I think you'll be fine imo.

Welcome to the islands in advance!
