It should be. Its just an OBD scan and visual for cars MY 2000 and newer.

Not all cars were manufactured to meet CA emissions, but they can still pass without whatever changes the manufacturer added.

With no sniff test, it shouldn't be a problem.

No problem. Just make sure there are no check engine lights, and it should be good to go. Assuming its stock.

FYI...California smog today....had to re-install stock air intake assembly to pass visual in Sacramento , the inspector said the JLT assembly , needed a CARB sticker on it & was probably just covering his ass , but all else passed, no problem....but after comparing the two different air intakes , the car seems to be louder & is more responsive with JLT
