CA Smog rules? CARB?

Anyone know where i could find info on what exactly i can and cannot put on my car, and still have it pass smog? Looking at intake/exhaust options and trying to narrow the field.

Thanks

Any aftermarket intake system/exhaust system will automatically fail the visual inspection of the engine bay IF it doesn't have the "CARB" legal sticker.

CARB = Approved by gov't that i still passes smog... something to that effect =P

You can always look for a shady shop to do it for a few bucks more hahaha

Just to add to that, CARB certification is extrememly expensive for companies to get becasue its California's way of cashing in on the huge after market industry and a little to save the environment. If you live in Cali, become friends with a mechanic or dont mod
