On the other hand, the cars that are changed over for racing can't be registered or driven on the street. A chrome aftermarket air cleaner can cause you to be failed it the referee is in a bad mood.

My car came from California originally and had SB100 certification. That being said, you can buy Collectors plates that avoid all emissions testing. It is still illegal to remove emissions equipment, but they do not check. When I bought my plates, you just sent a picture to the BMV and they would decide whether it was worthy or not. Now, you have to have receipts stating you spent $5000 or more modifying the car to get Collectors plates. If the car is more than 25 years old, you can get Historical Vehicle plates that are good for 35 years and cost about $35. Then you are exempt from everything but insurance, although you are only suppose to drive the car 1000 miles to less and it cannot be a daily driver. You can even take 1965 license plates and use those as the Historical Plates.
