Hi /o/, I hail from Texas, land of no fucks given and automotive freedom. However, I got an offer I couldn't refuse in California, so I'm stuck there for at least a couple years.
How do I circumvent their draconian emissions laws? Temporary cats? Greased palms? Register car in another state? I wanna go fast and CA does not want me to go fast.
you fucking realize that you're pumping poisonous gases into the atmosphere that will literally turn your cells into cancerous tumors

Pic related is an option
Califag here:
Internal work like cams will sneak past visual inspection
C.A.R.B legal aftermarkets that have stickers
Easily removable bolt on kits like some superchargers that you can remove the day you need to get it tested.
Maybe ecu swaps and tunes too possibly?
Basically, if it looks stock or looks like part of an assembly that has a CARB certified sticker (in my case, CARB legal CAI mated to a larger throttlebody from another car) you're good to go.
Politicians here crusade against fun but mechanics give as few fucks as they can get away with.

Register in a non-smog county.
It's threads like these that scare me to my fucking core.
