Default From AR coming to CA for a month emissions question*

so as the title states, I'm going to Anaheim for a month. I'm kinda worried about my TD exhaust. My main question is, if I get pulled over for the exhaust being too loud or whatever can I just say I'm visiting (which I am) and be ok? My exhaust is very loud under WOT but very docile just putin around thanks to magnaflow... any input from the people who live here would be great!!

You'll be fine. Just give them your license and registration when they ask for it. But tell them you've just been here for a few days no matter how long you've actually been here.

You will be fine. Just avoid sleeping with your cousin. That is illegal out here.

Cali wants you to register you're car within like 7 days of moving here, so just tell them you're here for a couple days. And don't get pulled over by the same pig twice

You shouldn't worry. I don't think they will cause problems cause of your plates.

I drove my old TA out here for a couple years with no emmisions controls, LT's, ORY, and a cutout that was open most of the time and never had one problem with the law. I was even pulled over for something unrelated, and they (CHP) didn't even look. My car was registered in IL.
