If you have an otherwise stock system, the CARB and BAR (California Air Resources Board and Bureau of Automotive Repair) might like to know about this. I have personally caught car dealers (Audi) lying to me and refusing warranty emission control repairs when the law clearly says they should be covered under warranty. I initially paid cash for the repairs then did some homework. (reading factory warranty booklet mostly) After letting them (the dealer) know that I wasn't going away and I'm not some knuckle dragging monkey, they (Audi dealer) decided to pay up (refund my money) with an apology. IMO, the dealer was just testing the water to see if I would quietly pay the +-$300.00 repair bill for items that were clearly covered under the emission control warranty. (ca. 1985) I'm quite sure this happens all the time in California. IMO, the CARB are like Nazi storm troopers to emission control cheaters. Read "FAR WORSE" than dealing with the IRS.
On the other hand, if your emissions control system is modified, say nothing because you might be ratting yourself out.
