For instance, I don't expect a company selling track pipes to supply a catted version if the customer suddenly wants to pass inspection. People need to take responsibility for their own decisions. You buy a non-CARB part, you roll the dice if you install it in CA.
As for CARB states, there are 16, and that's counting those planning to adopt it but haven't yet. And not all are adopting the full regulations either. So yes, the majority of US states and surrounding countries are not concerned with CARB bureaucracy.

Good luck running a business where you expect all your customers to accept responsibility and where your business doesn't take a hit for not supporting people who don't. Especially when it's a niche business w/ small volume. You can run your own business under ideal fantasy conditions like that but I wont and neither will many others. The prudent decision is to wait. While you are waiting, I'd recommend some Sun Tzu.
Btw, if you are in that much of a hurry, I'm sure you could snatch a kit from Australia one way or another.
