Don't do that. Trust me. You can do longtubes if you get catted mids, or if you find a shop that will pass you on the low.

Do not listen to the 2 above posts. They are 100% wrong. I lived there for 24 years of my adult life and long tubes are a NO and will not pass period. Contact Martin Smallwood for an emissions legal cam.

Cali sucks...I wouldn't even own one of these cars if I lived there. Ive read through the years a ton of guys running LT's and big cams there but have also heard a lot guys say no way. Guess its all who you know like everything else.
