    Hi all, I’ve recently bought a ‘17 488 with Fl exhaust and I’ll be moving to CA in a couple months for work.

    My question is will I have an issue passing emissions test?
    Thank you.

    What is an F1 exhaust and does it still have catalysts?

    The main questions I think you would need to answer are:

    1) Does it still have the OEM cats?
    2) Are all of the OBDII emisssions monitors set (in "ready state")? You can check this with a cheap OBDII scanner.
    3) Is the car a USA spec. car?

    If the answer to all of these is yes, you should have a decent chance at passing, notwithstanding any California laws I am not aware of regarding bringing in cars from out of state/country...
