Will it get impounded?

So I want to visit California... I have some family there. With a intercooler, blow off valve and custom crash bar visible in the bumper along with a rather tame exhaust, no cats though, how likely will I run into trouble? I hear California is not friendly to our kind.

Opening the hood would no doubt expose to any officer that I am not stock.

Your car is registered in Texas I presume.

According to my brother, a California cop, you absolutely can be sited for exhaust, and over tented windows with out of state plates. But, don't drive like an ass hat, don't be loud, and you'll be fine.

I think tented windows are a bad idea anyplace though!
