Lets start with a lack of hurricanes. You don't have to keep going to Alabama to pick up your roof. And, as a native Californian who decries the condition of my native state under Social Democrats, I can tell you that earthquakes are highly overrated by the press and the rest of the country. They occur very seldom and they rarely do much damage.

Oklahoma City has more earthquakes than Southern California. Gotta love that fracking. I'll take being "stuck" in San Diego. As I said earlier, the biggest issue is Jerry Brown and the Mexifornians that elected him. This is not the state to own any motorized vehicle unless it's a moped or a dumb *** Smart Car.

I just bought my 08 in April and in Cali all sales have to pass the emissions standards for the vehicle. I was unaware that there is a mandated emissions recall. My diagnostics report says all is ok. What is this recall and when was it instituted? The only active recall I have on my Z51 is for the low beam headlamp jumper.

Just had my 06 vette smog tested. passed,and nothing was said about any recall for it
is this for newer than 06 cars?

And already talking about getting an attorney.
Since your very detailed evaluation did not mention ever giving the repair facility a chance to correct their error, maybe you should give that a try.
Bad installation is all that happened here. Have them fix it.
Holy cow.

I'm looking at the GM recall notice I received for my 2008. It does not give all of the years the recall covers. It was a hot topic, so to speak, just research the topic. The recall notice states the cats will be replaced and the engine will be reprogramed. I had it done in 2016. None of the issues you described. Some complained of loss of noise and power. Some claimed more power. Any changes were way to small for the seat of the pants difference.
Anyway you can have the it on a hoist so you can see if anything is touching?

Does not apply to 2005, 2006 or 2007

See my post on the recall #30. Corvettes 2008-2009 6.2L engines.

We haven't had a hurricane here in 10+ years, probably less seldom than YOUR earthquakes. If you are trying to compare CA to FL then you sir are one misguided individual!

Recall was replacement of main cats with the addition of two smaller cats at the mid pipe. Reprogram the ECM, which does not affect timing and power enrichment tables.

My notice was dated September 2015.

Once the recall is completed, DMV receives notice. It is only mandatory for registration in CA. In CA, when you bring your car in for a smog test they look up your VIN for open emission recalls. If nothing is open, then the recall was completed.

My car was originally from California, but is now registered in Texas. I've gotten several recall letters about the cats and have thrown them away. After reading this post, I'm glad I haven't gotten it done, and it now cements my decision to never let them do it to my car.

My '12 has 4.

The Californians are moving north to Washington State, so I'm moving out. They never saw a tax they didn't like and more regulations than you can shake a lawyer at.

Due to work I went in reverse....from Seattle to LA. But right you are Mike, WA became the CA wannabe state. I'm sure a state income tax is on the horizon for WA.

I must admit I do enjoy minimal rain and year round track days 🏎

I did this recall to my 08 manual 9 months ago & I have none of your issues. I did notice that my oil & coolant temps ran at least 15 - 20* hotter after the recall - cats are more efficient at higher temps but higher operating temps promote detonation. Easy fix though - just reloaded my old tune.

I'd take it back, it does sound like your exhaust is touching the car somewhere.... maybe.

I have told both my daughters that if they move to another state i would be more than happy to go with them, they are my only living family , have two daughters and two grand daughters i will stay in California as long as they do.

California is in a downward spiral because of liberal thinking that does not see a tax it does not like, they are going to run out of people to tax in the long run i am hoping that my daughters will decide to leave the state i think we will all be happy some where else imho.

mikeCsix

Absolutely right 96, they are trying to institute either a state or local/city tax as we speak.

I'm getting closer to being done, and looking forward to meeting up with you for those track days .

Things like this are exactly why we left California 8 years ago. Oh.... and your wacko governor, Moonbeam!

I moved out in 92.

I have three years until retirement, then it is Tucson AZ for me. Can't take all the taxes any more. I can live in AZ with the same standard of living for about 30% less pay.

Ha, I went Cali to Seattle and back to Cali. Now I just want to settle in Seattle. Of course now it seems it's illegal to drink water while driving up there. lol
