I was told that the exhaust for the 2IS is not a valvetronic setup. OP - do you have a switch on the exhaust that open/closes a valve and controls the volume?

No, but the car is illegal in the state of California. No matter how clean your emissions are, you will not pass visual and you will not pass smog. You'd be surprised about how many of us who would like to return to California, but are being kept out because of their stupid damn rules.
