California Street Legal SC?

Are any of the kits street legal in CA? I've searched and haven't seen anything definitive.

Why not? Does it cost allot of money to get a CARB number? I am sure added sales volume will more than make up the difference.

Being the only CARB approved SC unit will surely drive sales.

It's an insane amount of money and a very lengthy process. No doubt that it will drive sales through the roof.

Props to the first company that actually does it.

We don't have inspections and the first smog is 6 years from new. So we have some time to play around with some of the newer cars before smog

I seriously can't wait for this. Then I'll be good to go with the M3

Yes, I have one year left I think. But, the change to just the OBD II test would save the day. Then I can pass smog no problem!

If you get flagged for the ref, there is no getting around it. You will have to remove ALL parts before going to them.

G Power gave me the contact info at HP Motorsport after I sent them the following links. They said HP Motorsport would be the folks to try and get this done.
Seems like a pretty straight forward process as long as the kit burns clean enough.
Looks like Vortech has been figuring out how to do this on lots of cars.
