take out the mbc for now since they will see that also and they will fail you right away.

How will an intake and mbc fail your emmissions? I was under the impression that if you have no check engine light, you pass emmissions as long as you have a cat on the car.

CARB-california air regulatory board,if it aint approved by them its not street legal and anything not factory that affects the smog emmision of a car is considered illegal here in cali

with just a catback and the stock cat you should pass since its legal to do the catback since it after the cat and it doenst alter any emmsion controls.a guy here in norcal tested his car and passed considering he had cams also

Your reflash should be fine too. They only look for emissions related trouble codes when they scan the ecu.
