C.A.R.B. Approved??? - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

So I live in one of the five lovely states that abide by the CARB emission laws. Has anyone compiled a list of CARB approved mods so I don't have to deal with the popo forcing me to pull out the mods? Are there any CAI's or Turbos that are CARB approved?

turbo probably wont be CARB approved because it removes the precats from the exhaust manifold, as for intake not sure they should say if they are or not.

All I can say is save your stock parts, because every cpl of yrs you're gonna be putting them back on.

Next July my car will be 6yrs old, and I think it'll be first time I will need to smog it. Gonna suck, cuz I plan on being boosted by then and will have to swap out my setup to get it smogged.
