My vert has Borla exhaust, would I be pulled over and ticketed.
Would my Canadian tags be a target??

(can I get a Get Out Of Jail Free card? - probably been asked before, eh?)
First, if you just have a cat-back, you are not automatically illegal. If you have an off-road H or X pipe, then it's time to worry, unlike what Mustanger2 says. Also, if you have headers, they must also be 50 state rated. We have to go through smog inspections every 2 years here. Additionally, police can inspect your car for illegal modifications.

Once someone moves to Calif, you have 10 days to register your car and get a Calif driver license. Otherwise, that's another trip to court for ya. Just a friendly heads up Eh....
