Default I havn't heard of any problems?

Sorry I am not sure of the exact answer but because you have no responses I thought I would put that out there. There where a few posts a bit ago that actually refered to this problem. And as far as I know there was no problem everything passed even in the harshest conditions. Search the forum for something like AA CA mods or something.

Default I believe Mance lives in Colorado...

which has the same stringent vehicle emissions laws, and he has never reported a problem with the mods he has made in the past...

Default Intake mods are categorically verboten in CA, as far as I know

I wouldn't dare going to the smog check without the plenum here. Not that this is an issue for me because my intake is stock, apart from my MAF and velocity stack, which nobody noticed.

Default This much...

AA Mods Installed from 7/24/03 through 8/6/04:
1. Stage 3 Bored MAF housing.
2. Stock airbox velocity stack.
3. Stage 2 - 3" MAF-to-plenum induction hose.
4. XSTB.
5. Ported and Polished my own IM and had it installed.
Failed Calif. Smog on 9/13/04 at idle for HC.
9/24/04 - Installed Fitch Fuel Catalyst.
10/19/04 - 2 new Cats from Summit Racing.
Then, around 11/1/04, I re-tested Calif. Smog and Passed with
flying numbers.
The Fuel Catalyst and the Cats got me to pass smog.
