You aren't understanding what Mike is saying. Being a resident of another state doesn't exempt you from the laws of the state you are driving in, regardless if your resident state has those laws or not.
As an example, a lot of states don't even issue front license plates but if I get pulled over in a state requiring a front plate, the cops there have every right to give me a ticket. I can argue I don't even have a front plate, but that doesn't matter.
CA I think is about the only state who can/will give you tickets for not complying with their emissions laws like removing cats, etc. while being pulled over. Doesn't have anything to do with passing their emissions tests. You could always tell them you are just passing through the state or something but if you get pulled over again it might not work out so well.
