Default cali emmissions...beating the dead horse

not the usual inquiry

ok i will start by saying i live in michigan and we dont have emmission laws. i just purchased a 94 DB8. the car is originally from california. i know some makes and models of california vehicles had extra emission devises installed (more restrictive exhausts, extra cats, different ecu's/maps, etc)

i bought this for a daily driver but just wanted to know if its being choked up with emission crap. plans for the vehicle are to keep it a quiet and comfy daily. only mods that may or may not ever happen are the type r headers and exhaust and k&n drop in filter

I would think the cat would be the only thing.

There are NO extra Cali emission changes to a DB8. They were all made to be compliant with all emission standards. But lucky for you, they don't have to stay that way.

Yep... I just got by. Passed the low speed HC test by 1 point but failed for the inspector not being able to "find" the timing.
Another inspector did find it and on his I made it by 3 points

Just leave it -- everything is the same as it would be if it were purchased anywhere else in the country.

All '94 Integras are 50-state cars; CA emissions equipment is no different from any other state.

There is NO difference in OE cats for CA and other states. Aftermarket cats are a different story. If your cat heat-shields are held on by bolts, then you've still got the original cat.

You're lucky to have a CA car. There won't be the rust that you'll end up with in MI.
