Not Ranked
Seems like the choices are rather limited for those who either do not want to replace their engine or do not want to take the chance that the retro-fit kit will work (or cannot afford to do either). With such few options and with so many incorrectly titled vehicles in CA (est: 72,000), the question really is: how much funding does CA have to identify/prosecute those who do not correct their vehicle's title by the end of 2010?
Owners of these incorrectly titled vehicles who do not want to change their engines will have to make a decision prior to Jan 1, 2010 whether to apply for SB100 Smog Exemption (and take the chance that they may not get an SB100 Sequence Number) or continue to drive/own with no further changes. By applying for SB100 Smog Exemption and NOT receiving an SB100, owners will be left with no choice, as these owners will have already identified themselves to CA as owning an incorrectly titled vehicle.
One can only speculate as to how many will apply for SB100 Smog Exemption on Jan 1, 2010... This year the sequence numbers were available for many months. How many owners will apply for SB100 Sequence Numbers based upon this Amnesty Program? Who knows...
