No. All you need to do is buy a CA emissions stock version of what you have, sell your current car to a friend out of state. Then you have to move out of state and have the same friend steal your CA legal car. Then you can buy your original car back from them and they can sell the decoy car. Then you document the original car as being purchased out of state to replace a CA-legal car.
Then you can move back to CA and get an exemption for your original car. Piece of cake! I think...

Maybe you should have asked why they pulled him over in the first place...driving like an idiot? They certainly had a reason or it would be unconstitutional. And fyi, just the noise level coming from the car would be enough to send someone back to an inspection station and verify their car hadn't been modified in a way that would violate any federal emissions/state laws.
"Dude, I'll give you my home address, register it here in Florida and drive it there. Tell them you live here half the time. **** California."
Brilliant. So they can ticket you/arrest you for registration/licensing violations, insurance rate evasion and submitting false documents for filing to a government agency. Any more advice?

i know it does suck !
its allright i guess ... the price to pay for modding a car i guess.
i spent about a hour this morning and i got everything pretty much taken off to pull the cam , i have to just pull the cam out of the motor and put my stock one back in.
then tonight i will go pick up some stock headers , y , cats , and lid and i should be close to back to stock
after this whole mess is over .... i think im going to keep cats on the car , run longtubes again , keep a muffler this time
run a smaller cam that is less noticable, and put some spray to make up for any lost power
and hope i dont get pulled over again ! oooo california , i hate you sometimes

I understood that our STOCK hyperqutectic (spelling??) pistons allow too much combustion gases to pass through the exhaust pipes...and the air pump introduces extra air at start-up so the engine can meet emmissions standards.....
Then when the pistons heat up and expand that combustion gas doesn't pass so much and an emmissions test can be passed.
NO???????
