If your exhaust is not CARB approved, then it is technically not legal in Cali, period, dot. You need to find out if there's a CARB number associated with your exhaust. If there's no number, then you need to put a OEM exhaust on your car, drive down to the local CHP/Sheriff office, have them look at your exhaust, and then have them sign off your ticket (so now, it's only a fix-it), or you can just suck it up and pay the full price of the ticket and take the points associated with it. Is there anything else you need to know? If you are modding your car in Cali, you need to know the laws and not come running to this site for help. Also, I've heard that they've started installing DB meters in smog stations, that way you can have your exhaust tested and approved and then annotated that you meet the sound standard.
I find it interesting that the import tuner scene pretty much started in Cali., but now, they are the least import friendly of just about any State.
