Cali Emissions
I have a '99 Coupe that I had supercharged while stationed in NC. I have transferred to Cali and the car won't pass the emissions test. It did pass NC emissions. I do not want to return the vette to factory. What would be the best way (and least expensive) to re-mod my vette to pass the inspection and not loose the performance.

Its the long tube headers and high flow cats.I don't believe any long tube headers are Cali legal. It's cuz your moving the cats back and they don't work quit the same farther away from the engine. Now that your in the system it may be hard not to correct those 2 items
.
I've seen a couple of people get by the visual with LTs but it ain't legal for you and especially the test station.
Bad news....sorry
Hey, Welcome to California!

Keep the NC or your home state plates on it. Welcome to the real Marine Corps, the West Coast.

Thanks to all for the responses. I am originally from Maryland so I am going to try to register there. Might look into the C6 ZO6 headers. No way I'm going back to factory. Thanks again.
