hey fellas...I'll be moving to the Bay area sometime this summer so i figured i'd start looking to see how it is out there. it's been a while since we lived in cali (8 yrs) even though San Diego's our hometown.

i'm excited to drive my Evo out there but i have a few questions as far as smog & registration & what i should prep it for...currently it has all the basic bolt ons:

nisei intake
k&n cone filter
3port ebc
nisei (flat black) uicp
rexpeed o2/dp
t1r resonated tp
magnaflow catback
AMS fmic
E85 tune

that's about all i can think of right now...

it's got TX legal tint..which i'm sure isn't legal in CA.
I guess my question is, what do i need to take off or prep before i take it for a pre-registration smog inspection? from what i've researched the intake and the tp are one of them...any help would be great. I tried signing up at NorcalEvo forum but i dunno why it won't get activated.

here's a pic of my Evo. thanks in advance!

Norcalevo is dead, we bailed on it and got back together at EvoEmpire.org
check it out, it's the local SF/nor cal forums.

Some smog shops are not bothered by shiny aftermarket parts, so just swap in a stock cat and make sure it runs clean. Sometimes you have to try a few different smog shops before you find one that's OK with underhood bling.

I was gunna say norcalevo isn't very busy. About 40 active members. I haven't really been on evoempire yet.

Welcome back to Cali. What area will you be??

thanks! i signed up a EE

I'm getting transferred out in Fremont...looking to live around the same area, maybe Union City/Newark/Fremont area. it's still an 8 hour drive to San Diego but it's a lot better than flying (money wise). plus we have relatives out in NorCal as well.

legal tint in cali is cant be tinted in front and rears can go as dark as you want.
