California smogging is crap! I currently moved back to California with a non smog legal 02 Z28 from Ohio. I was hoping my headers were legal, but i had a smog shop tell me already they would fail me due to the headers not having the C.A.R.B sticker on them.
Anyone know how i can get my car to pass without changing my headers?
Or anyone have a set of legal headers for sale of trade. Currently have the Slp longtube headers on my car. Thank you.

Bishop, northern Cali.
Yeah i am thinking i have to go back to stock and damnit, I dont want too!
People can own older cars, that barely run but we want to enjoy our newer hotrods that still produce less emissions. I think someone needs to re-do this law!

You will quickly learn that California does not care about emissions, and many other 'good causes'- they are only interested in the $$$ they can collect by regulating everything.
Cost me a small fortune when I brought my car in from Georgia. Car would pass sniffer without a problem, but many parts were not C.A.R.B. certified. I finally gave up and had a 'Ca. approved' engine built. I keep a 1/2 inch stack of Executive Orders in the glove box for all the parts on the car now. Speeds up the impromptu LEO inspections of aftermarket parts.
Here's where you can search for approved parts.
