Legal California Modifications?

I've gotten by once with an aftermarket cat-back, but failed another time on visual exam, thats why i asked.

guess you just gotta find a cooler place

Properly tuned i am certain that the Gen 3, HFC, and TDX would pass a sniffer, its just getting an overly strict tester that i'm worried about

On Cat-Back Exh... I saw somewhere that if stock has a crossover pipe, your aftermarket needs one too. I don't think there is a distinction between X and H configuration. Noise restrictions too but it you have a stock cat you will probably never get "hassled by the man" for it.

CAI... I think any mods are OK in front of the MAF sensor.

No alternate cats where listed last time I checked.
