    Get yourself a copy of the 2006 SoloII rulebook, available free in PDF format at the SCCA website.

    By my reading, your IC pipes are legal for STU. 14.10.C:

    14.10.C. The air intake system up to, but not including, the engine inlet
    may be modified or replaced. The engine inlet is the throttle
    body, carburetor, compressor inlet, or intake manifold, whichever
    comes first. The existing structure of the car may not be
    modified for the passage of ducting from the air cleaner to the
    engine inlet. Holes may be drilled for mounting. Emissions or
    engine management components in the air intake system, such
    as a PCV valve, or mass airflow sensor, may not be removed,
    modified, or replaced, and must retain their original function
    along the flow path.
    EDIT: oops, missed the "compressor inlet" part. So your IC pipes are not legal. Strange because they're legal in Street Prepared and most SP stuff is legal in ST. But there you go.

    This actually makes me feel better. That was the way I understood it and I am glad I heard it from another mouth. So I think if I go back to the stock IC piping I am good with STU and maybe if anyone really wanted to be picky, I will undo the strut tower.

    The guys in my region are not picky and may let me go without having to alter the IC piping knowing that it does not do a ton.

    I just wanted to be Politically correct and if we ever did larger events we would need to be totally legal.*

    Man, I'm so glad that Chris posted this. I was thinking about doing the SCCA autox at Marina on August 26th, and wasn't sure which class I'm in. I read that Solo handbook and it just didn't make a lot of sense to me. ops: Street Modified it is!

    If you are running cams...then SM is your class. If it's just boost...then it's BSP.

    Just looked...I think it's a catch-all for anyone on street tires...you'll have to ask, otherwise, just run with the big dogs...
