I'd be surprised if a set of headers for our X's would be CARB legal. Why would anybody pay an extra 10 or 20k for CARB certification? You would definately fail visual inspection, however if you could reuse the heat shields, there might be a chance. Visual inspection is supposed to check everything between the cats and your engine, including the engine. Keeping the stock cats in, you probably would pass the sniffer, as long as everything stays nice and hot.[/b]
If it is CARB legal, then it can't fail visual.. It has an exemption.. much liek the K&N FIPK.. Those would also fail the visual without the sticker saying it is exempt..
A signifigant portion of the population lives in an smog test area.. All of CA, 2 or 3 counties in western NV, the area around DC.. that is just what i am aware of.. I know there are other areas that do at least a visual, if not a sniffer test.
Once it is CARB legal, you can sell it in all 50 states.. Not just CA..
As long as stuff like this is around, we can expect the requirements will continue to expand to more places, and tighten down what is allowed..[/b]
He's saying they most likely would not be CARB legal, and therefore would fail visual inspection.
