well they don't void your cars factory warranty I know that, so I don't see how they can't be street legal.

FPR, Fuelrails, 450cc injectors, VAFC, etc. anything that has to do with giving more fuel other then stock is ILLEGAL

I went to the ref for my exhaust ticket and they used my VAFC for the RPM meter and they said that if i had that for the smog test i would fail visuals. So unless if it has a CARB number its illegal.

CARB blows whale ****, some use the VAFC to lean fuel back, but those shiteaters wouldn't know the first thing about that.

so, having a VTEC controller will result in a failure? I'd better wait a little longer to install mine then.

how much is the ticket? it might be just cheaper to suffer the loss and get over it.
