Or better yet ignore immoral laws. I doubt the intent of that law was to dissallow reducing pollution and fuel consumption.

The *intent*, no, but CA doesn't give a damn regardless. You can't even swap a non-certified exhaust onto a car even if it increases the efficiency of the engine and reduces emissions.
My 90 Talon got about 25mpg at 70 on the highway. By the time I got done building a new exhaust (WITH catcon), intake, engine mods, and ECU mods, it pulled down 28 (32 farther east on decent gas) at nearly double the peak hp. But if the smog guys had known what to look for, it would have failed. I was just good at making stuff look stock (paint it black, then dirty it up - you know, the reverse of ricers).
