Did i you even read anything i wrote??? Its called CARB and i live in California my friend...Go confirm your supsicions after you have a valid understanding of what i am even talking about. And bottom line, Its really up to the driver if they wanna use some cheap ass parts on their car. No offense to those who use generic ebay parts on their car, but imo...if your going to pay over 10,000-18,000 for a car, is it really really worth the risk to put a cheap exhaust/intake for 25$ and run the chance of messing it up? I personally dont think so..but hey, its your car.
PS. I got hooked up with wholesale prices from my friend who has direct connections with AEM thru his shop and i did NOT pay msrp.
