California Highway Patro and Patrol Units in the Sheriff's department now carry infrared scanners that can detect law-breaking levels of exhaust. They wont pull you over, but you may get a $500 fix-it ticket in the mail.
I believe SMOG Checks for performance vehicles are now controlled by the Sheriff's Department. Your vehicle is required to pass the three following tests:
1. Visual Inspection of the Exhaust system and engine bay.
2. OBD2 Unit and Sensor Check
3. The Sniffer (A prod placed in the exhaust to measure levels of emissions.)
4. The optional fourth is a decibel check for systems that are "too loud."
Failure to meet any or a combination of the required parameters above can result from a warning, a no-cost fix it ticket, fix-it ticket and fine that can reach $2,500 or impounding.
