I need some advice from anyone who lives in CA. I'll be

Yeah, you're fucked. Sell them both.

Make peace with being CARB legal.

Seriously, OP you're fucked.
California not only has visual inspection, where everything has to be legal, but the tail pipe inspection is on a dyno.
They also have portable IR inspection vans they park on freeway on ramps and test you as you pass by and take a pic of your plate (on throttle 'cause on ramp of course)- fail that and you have to be inspected at a station that you can't just magically make a pass certificate appear with an extra $200.

1) install a test pipe to swap in CC
2) live in a no retest county
3) do the test on a wet morning
>TL;DR- register in Oregon

I've never been stopped and randomly inspected. Stop lying. It's not a common thing

And yes you can pay an extra $200 to get it to "pass".

I just moved from PA to CA.

No problemo. Inspection didn't involve a dyno.

I drive a stock grandpa sedan tho, YMMV.

>>15719211
Lol I have a non-compliant fd that I've kept registered out of state for several years

No problems to report

>>15719211
If they stay registered in PA you're fine

Depending on where you live the local PD will make note of your PA plates. If you have them on the car longer than a couple months they will harass you to get CA registration.

>>15721560
Where fuck in Cali do you live. I've never had a visual inspection, idk what the fuck an ir inspection is either.

Also op yeah I'm sure your cars won't pass smog unless you have CA compliant cats without acel

>>15722518
This is truth

>>15719211
Don't move to Cali. Problem solved . You will piss off someone some where and they will turn your plates in and your now toast. Good luck with that.

>>15722518
>harass out of state plates
I can't imagine the butthurt when they stop someone who is driving a rental.

>>15721540
Safest bet. Aftermarket parts need a CARB E.O. sticker.
>>15721560
No more rolling road tests for OBD2 cars. They do a visual and make sure it isn't throwing any codes. I've heard of the on-ramp testers but not in the form a van. There are 'voluntary' roadside testing checkpoints but I haven't seen those either. Don't go catless.

Cops can ask you to pop your hood and can send you to the smog ref. No bribing them. Not saying it's common but it happens, especially if you stand out. PS gib $200 smog hookup pls.
>>15722518
This.

Older diesel cars don't need to be smogged but I'm not up on that stuff.

>>15719211
fuck off we're full
