The cameras are delayed until January because they couldn't get them running. My car isn't due until March, but I did just get my truck done. It's a 2008 nissan with cold air, shorty headers and cat back. Nothing is CARB stickered, and they didn't even look at it. Never popped the hood. They jacked it up to check for ball joint play but didn't go under to check for cats or anything.
I've asked two shops about what to expect for my 95 302 and both of them said the exhaust noise could be too loud. But what is too loud? It's up to the inspector. I haven't found a guideline. Currently I don't have a smog pump, but the EGR is still functioning. The 15 year rule still applies, over 15 and you don't need to pass emissions check.
It looks like they are coming down on the lowered/stanced cars and the lifted trucks. The new OBD2 scan is more intrusive for newer vehicles, looking for disabled emissions controls. If the OBD2 scan finds certain things you can get referred to MAC center, where they will find everything you've modified for sure. This is catching the subarus and evos.
I'm waiting it out, I haven't read any horror stories on the local facebook group yet.
