New here...so please bear with me. Tried to post this before but may have been lost. Got this CA Inspection issue and really need some experienced advice as I'm moving to Ocean Side CA from WA State (with no smog checks on a 1989 car). Before I tow my car down there ...I know you CA guys will know the deal with this.
My Car: 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 / 5 speed. Completely stock except for some engine modifications that I made myself a few of years ago . They are simply: An Explorer manifold, a K&N filter (inside the stock box). 65mm throttle body (unbranded but also polished) (I left the PVC and ERG alone thank God) Unbranded shorty headers, Summit H-pipe, and (not too loud) chamber Magnaflows. So "I thought" all I have to do is buy the 4 cats for the car, clamp them on where I remember they go, Replace the smog pump and I'm done. Since the engine is not all tricked out really..."I'm thinking the visual" should be no big deal right? As long as I pass the sniffer test on the dyno...I should pass right? ...But I have no C.A.R.B. numbers on any parts. ANY experienced advice on this subject would be most appreciative.
