i dont see why stock ilde lobes shoudl cost you anymore than non-stock idle lobes. but the nonstock idle lobes will make more power under vtec

i would suspect you can pass smog fine with stock idle lobes, because well they are the same as stock,

the stage 3's idle like stock. I have been told you can pass smog with the 3's so I don't see why you couldn't with the 2's.

Put my stage 2 non stock idle lobes in. Idles like stock and more low end power. Why would u wanna pay more for the stock idle lobes.
