California Emissions for the 392??

[DaltonGang]

I dont think this has been discussed before. But, in the past, cars and trucks, manufactured for the Kalifornia market, and a few other states, have been modified to meet even stricter emissions standards. More catalytic converters, more egr, more of just about all emissions control devises. This has reduced the performance of some vehicles, and also reduced the reliability of these vehicles.
Does anyone know, especially those in Kalifornia, do the window stickers mention California emissions or compliant??

It is on the emission label under the hood. Vehicles today are 50 state emissions compliant.

I just wanted to second what calemasters said. To the best of my knowledge, most every new car these days is built to 50 state standards.

The place where you still see this issue the most though, is in the aftermarket. (ie: engine & exhaust mods, superchargers, etc.)

I wasnt aware they made all cars 50 state legal, with the emissions.

According to Wikipedia, this is who follows the CARB standard right now. I doubt automakers would manufacture '35-state' compliant vehicle.

I know it’s hard to open a book. They are complicated to manage.

What kind of a statement is that for???

Thank God that I no longer live in Commiefornia! I was born and raised in the East County of San Diego and lived out there for almost the first 30 years of my life. I will always love and miss the California that I grew up in but I will never go back there again!

We move to a small, rural, predominantly agricultural area of Northeast Colorado in August of 2003, where my wife is from and I have really come to love and prefer small town living over living in an area where the cost of living is crazy high, I have to smog my vehicles (Out here we don’t and I love that!), and out here you don’t have things like Homeowners Associations that are run by a bunch of Karen’s who are drunk with power and think they are entitled to tell you what you can and cannot do to your own house, that you have paid for, and not them. If I wanted to be told what I could and could not do to my own house I would simply be a renter and also not worry about having to pay for any needed repairs either.

I know that all auto manufacturers build their vehicles to be 50 State emissions compliant but at least for folks like me, who don’t have to worry about smogging our vehicles, there is a really good aftermarket availability in allowing our vehicles to actually breath better. In the near future I plan on adding an aftermarket CAI and dual exhaust. I’m unsure which aftermarket exhaust that I will go with yet but I plan on replacing everything that I can after the headers. No cats to restrict the engine but I will have at least some better high performance mufflers over the stock ones so my Jeep isn’t crazy loud.
