No need to feel sorry for us, when it comes to cars...things are stricter and illegal compared to other states...but then again, we get great weather year-round...never need to store the car for storage and we have beaches and amazing attractions. I'll take that everyday!
With that being said, I've had no issues with my Corsa...catted headers are next.
Touche, simmer down, hahahahaI know the laws, but its not worth arguing a cop who knows how to get around the laws itself... saying " no you need a warrant" will just aggravate him and cause him to waste everyones time by bring the Kilo unit out and getting the k9s to " alert " them on something giving them cause... then who ends up paying for the damage of them tearing apart or impounding the car...
This is not true. The modified exhaust is the PC to inspect the engine compartment for emission related non CARB violations.Just for future ref, you don't have to pop the hood for anyone, they can bring there dogs out if they think you have drugs and that would be the only prob cause they would have
Yes. In general, any vehicle being operated within California is subject to our laws.Being that my car is not registered in Cali, would I need to comply with their regs should I take a road trip there?
He would be a visitor...a resident of the State of LA. Lawfully registered in his state & therefore not subject to any CA vehicle emissions regs. LE in CA would only be required to write him a speeding ticket and such.Yes. In general, any vehicle being operated within California is subject to our laws.
I have a bud that visited from Texas and was here in cali longer than 2 months. He was constantly being pulled over (emissions related) and was told he needed to register his vehicle here in cali or go back to texas. Hahaha not sure about the laws around that oneHe would be a visitor...a resident of the State of LA. Lawfully registered in his state & therefore not subject to any CA vehicle emissions regs.

Only out of state folks who are "moving" to Cali, not visitors.I have a bud that visited from Texas and was here in cali longer than 2 months.

The california vehicle code says different....He would be a visitor...a resident of the State of LA. Lawfully registered in his state & therefore not subject to any CA vehicle emissions regs. LE in CA would only be required to write him a speeding ticket and such.
Again...show me where it states above that out-of-state visitors are subject to these regs?The california vehicle code says different....
