California, What can we do that's actually legal

[Milk 1027]

Soon I'll be adding a C.A.R.B legal tag to all the mods on the list that are legal.

I have not seen ANY cams that are CARB-legal... I suppose you could do an OEM grind, like an LS7 or LS6 (if you had the older heads) but I haven't seen any CARB-legal cam grinds out there. There are supposed "cheater" cams out there, but I don't know that they have the correct split to work with the rectagular-style heads.

If you ask me, I'd add a CARB-legal SC and pulley-up!!! CAIs are different, because I know I've seen only one, so far, with CARB numbers (though I don't recall which it was - probably K&N or AEM or something...), but the smog ref' never asked where the numbers were for my lid on my old '02. That's an actual BAR ref', but I don't know if he just didn't think about it, or he knew it wouldn't change anything.

You'd think you could find something, but there's no resource.

I, too, thought about this, but I haven't seen anything in the database that has anything newer than like 2006. Hell - I didn't even find the number MAgnuson acquired for their 2300! I've been meaning to call BAR back to see if there's another on-line resource, but the one I kee running into is rubbish.

Do you know any police officers? most of them could care LESS that you have longtube headers, let alone even knowing what they are or how to detect them. I have been driving around california with everything you said is "out" for 10,000 miles now. If some jack off rookie cop writes a ticket.. I have my friend sign off on it... if you dont know an officer, you put the LEGAL part back on, and have an officer sign off on it. Real easy.. Now go out and buy what you want and stop worring about these laws.

If you get a ticket for LTs, or a illegal part, it can be a non-correctable violation, which means technically, if you drive it around before being corrected, you can get another bigger ticket. You can take it to a BAR Ref', for a test, but it's not necessary. Still, the fine can go up to $250, and I was never able to get a clear understanding if the car could be confiscated for driving without corrections but I know first hand. If you get a non-correctable ticket, it can't be signed off.

Just in case (if you can) keep you original parts to put back on.

I can handle a $250 ticket. i do have all of my stock parts which I could put back on. This state has so many other issues to worry about then me having longtube headers and a high flow cat.
