That depends whether your car is up to par. If anything is wrong with it. If you are questioning whether a 3.0 can be driven in Cali then answer is yes.

sweet, that's all good news. i know CA has the most strict emissions laws in the country and that older vehicles may need a new cat conv to bring them up to par.
