From what I understand,the rules are more stringent than before. For example, before the new law, there was a window your particular vehicle would have to fit into such as between 2.3 and 5.0 PPM (just an example). Now cars will have to meet the lower number with no latitude as before.

If you don't meet this minimum number, you are required to spend UP TOO $450 to repair the vehicle to meet the lower standards and if it still doesn't pass, apply for an exemption through the DMV referee.

Certain areas in Ca. like Sacramento are targeted due to the gross pollution. Some areas in La and others also , I can't remember which ones right now. The target is the top 15% of the gross polluters.

It sucks but were stuck with it................AND, congrats on the SB-100. 499....cool!
