they set the bar in their own eyes, whats they think is right or good, its proven over the years to have no effect, how about we care about the rest of the world before we steal every dollar from the cali people setting the bar
this state is a effin joke, hell the us is becoming a joke, sell out to itself


i never heard of a smog cam thats why i said it, i hear a lot of parts being referred to smog legal when in reality they are no different

I passed Cali smog with flying colors and a cam with -8 overlap. Thanks to a BlackBear tune (plug) it's probably putting out cleaner emissions than factory (which I think it was as I remember). I run 12's N/A with around 400hp+, soon to be 11's with approx 450hp+ and Cali smog passable. Stock cats, mid-lengths, mild setup blah blah blah

If you want CA smog legal headers Bassani makes a mid-length Ca CARB legal headers. Best option out there. Don't waste time with shorties.
