Works has a CARB legal turbo kit. The issue is that the tune needs to be certified as well, not sure if you could tune a CARB legal kit for more power and still pass, there is headroom on the superchargers from the CARB trim.

Easy fix spend $200 bucks on an extra ecu and swap when time to smog, so many of these cars are hitting the junkyard that they are pretty cheap

I like how many people are buying catted headers that aren't carb legal

Maybe they don't want a loud exhaust. . .

Do they make CARB legal headers?

Clipdat · 12-05-2015, 07:24 PM

For our cars, not that I know of.

That's kinda contradicting. CARB requires that OEM cats be retained, which all the CARB FI options do.

That's what resonators and mufflers are for

Maybe I'm just old, but with stock exhaust and just an axle-back, my exhaust was loud for me. Switched back to stock.

I get you. I run an HKS Legamax Sports, thing is quieter than stock. but that's why I said mufflers and resonators, they keep the noise and restrictions down

I used to run a cut up stock muffler and deleted resonator only growled on the cold start and hard acceleration but quite during my daily 45 mile commute

Once you have kids you realize a car without emissions equipment isn't a good thing.

I'm no crazy environmentalist, but when you see what ZERO emissions policies do in China (e.g. you literally can't breathe in the air), buying a CARB legal kit makes a lot of sense.

Yup that's why I'm sitting here waiting on my WORK's stage 2 CARB legal kit to ship
