I know! I'm born in raised in Florida and this Smog **** just blows my mind haha. I always talk about moving up north but I say it's worth living here if i'm going to have to deal with that crap! I rev in front of cops here with my Art Pipes and Motordyne TDX2 they smile and say "b@da$s noise!"
California is broke. They have to make up the debt somehow, so they create all types of complex laws to get people to slip up and get tickets.
Also their are many treehuggers in the political party in california....they care a lot about the environment.....when i was their during rush hour morning traffic any car that produces zero emissions such as a prius or the tesla cars can get a special sticker to drive in the carpool lane without needing a passenger.......is this fair? of course not.
The risks of having a loud exhaust. You're going to make a trip to the dmv where a ref will check your car with a fine tooth comb, if he/she decides it is not up to par you may have to smog as well.

Agreed. ATL has the 2nd busiest airport, and it's not the cars, it's the dang jets. When the jetstream changes in July you can't even see the blue sky.
