Default Vehicle inspections in california

I recently got orders to Pt. Mugu, California. What issues normally come up for inspections for yall with catless, longtubes, open loop tune, cams, etc.... Im from texas and have never been to california nor thought about it, till now. Basically trying to figure out what im going to need to do to my truck to make it pass emissions. or sell it if its not worth me messing with it and start fresh with another truck when i get there.

keep your out of state plates for as long as you can. No way you will pass without somewhat stock exhaust setup.

you will not be required to smog test if your truck is registered out of state. You need to be aware that if a CHP sees you rollin for more than a month on out of state plates they will pull you over and question you. Have your ducks in a row, this fucked up state is money hungry.
