I live in Cali. The air box alone will fail you, unless it has a CARB sticker on it. CARB = California Air Resources Board, I have an after marked aribox in my big dodge diesel truck, had to remove it to pass inspection, since then I received the magic sticker in the mail, all good now.

I learned that here in cali I only buy approved items, or pay the consequences when it comes to smogging the vehicles. This means removal and replacement back to stock for inspection, or having carb certified with attached sticker installed. Also, if you are in CALI, do not throw, mutilate, sell, or loose your stock stuff, these idiot legislatures here may some day make it totally illegal to modify your car, truck, motorcycle, etc, and this could be retroactive. Just saying....

Sucks, but I do love it here.
