And Texas requires federal certification of modifications, doesn't sound like even a CARB approved kit is street legal in your non-fascist state as I can't find a list of federally approved emissions modifications. Sounds like Texas is technically more stringent...

I don't take lightly to people laughing at emissions laws, millions of people were and are affected by a poor understanding of vehicle emissions. My girlfriend grew up in Orange county, she suffered from terrifying asthma attacks most of her life, she's lived away from there for nearly 10 years now and hasn't had an asthma attack in over 5 years now. It hits close to home for me.

That's a damn shame
