Mine hase the CARB sticker on it on the charge pipe at the throttle body. I haven't had a problem with visual although it depends on who is looking at it and even cares I of course I'm in Texas though. I was more concerned with the pcv mods and longtubes with gutted cats. You should be fine.

In Massachusetts, no modifications to the stock exhaust are permitted by law. It's actually on the books.


I'm just glad no one enforces it....

Page 1 of this E.O. document (E.O # D-593) lists 98-02 Camaro/Firebird as CARB legal. (Last sentence 3rd paragraph).

If the smog tech ended up asking, I'd think a printout of this ought to be sufficient.
