i recently called mackin industries regarding a CARB legal sticker my hyper medallion exhaust system. i asked them if they had a CARB eo# sticker for my exhaust. you know what they said? he said that it is indeed legal but doesnt have a CARB eo#. what the hell kind of **** is that?!? in cali at least, sound compliant legal doesnt mean **** unless you got a CARB #. so if you want something legal make sure that it is sound compliant and has a CARB eo# like greddy or something. dont get me wrong i love my exhaust and all but this bullshit regarding the "50 state legal exhaust system" thing is very missleading.
anyone else have this problem with tanabe exhaust systems?

all exhausts are smog legal...only if you don't modify the cat...sounds wise that's different...there are few exhausts that have teh carb number on it....

 

Emmisions laws in California only regulate the system up to, and including the CAT.

Cat-back systems do not apply to the law.

 

And Sound complaiance has nothing to do with CARB (California Air Rescources Board) who mandate emmisions NOT how LOUD it is.
