Getting my Modded LS1 Smog legal We are thinking of relocating to San Diego and the wife wants me to loose my 99 LS1 with the excuse that it wont pass emissions. The car has AFR 205s/lt headers/comp cam (mild)/magna flow catback. It has performance cats and mufflers. Will I have any problem getting it through. Also, any tips/shops that test in San Diego. Hopefully I can continue to Z my way down the freeways.
Thanks
Thanks

you need stock manifolds or shortie headers.. with the STOCK cats.. EGR and AIR working.. heads dont matter.. the cam might if its too much.. like over .224 .224
if you have a friend in FL that will let you use his address for the time being.. do that, and keep it registered until you figure out what to do...

Thanks for the info. I have a ls2 manifold, but the headers are LT and the cats are aftermarket. The cam is a compLSX 224/228/114xer. A couple of shops (LA) told me I should be o.k., but I have heard that alot of people in California going shortie headers. I don't feel like switching headers/cats. It looks like it's going to be a hassle. Maybe I'll just pick up a Miata out there (only kidding).

I live in 1 state and have my cars registered in another..
you get a CA driver lic,.. but have the CAR registered in another state.. "IF" you get pulled over.. the cop is not going to say anything at all... "IF" he does.. you simply state you have another home in FL.. and you just brought this car out... they can not make you switch your tags if you state this.. nor will they ask you to prove ownership of the home.. they dont have that right.
I've been pulled over about 8 times in 3 years by CA police... only 2 have questioned the out of state address for the car... never had a problem

It's not easy to find someone like this, but if you can then you're lucky. People who will do this are rare. Even if you do find someone, they can only pass you on the visual, your car still needs to burn clean as the smog system is very automated these days.
