California, Upgrades and such Options

[Random_Stranger]

I know nothing of what will pass for smog and what will not. Is there anyone here off the top of their head that knows what performance upgrades you can do with your car, including exhaust etc, that will still pass for smog in the sucky state of California? I know this is asking a lot but since this state smogs and I am not willing to find a way around ($$$ *Wink *Wink) unless I had some Heavy engine swap done. Anyone? I appreciate any replies. Even if you say something like "Vinyl!". Already said it! LOL

you guys are close to the subject, but not entirely. engine swaps have to be of the same yr or newer. they also have to be of the same make, not necessarily same model. also, if u have a cali spec vehicle, the engine also has to be a cali spec. for exhaust, it has to be carb approved as well. all existings cat's and sensors must be in place, along with carb approved replacement cat's. u can have custom piping tho. also, techinically, the db rating of the exhaust is supposed to be 96db or under. which many are not, but they will igonore that law most of the time. any replacement headers have to be carb approved, or off of another engine of same make. intake must be carb approved. head swaps are not allowed unless same yr or newer.
