So.. Since hytech is like one of top performance headers.. it makes sense that its not carb legal.. WHAT IF I TOLD YOU... that a Comptech (high trusted carb legal) plate off Comptech headers was welded onto the HYTECH headers???

How rare do you guys think this is??
How much do you think it would be worth if sold??
Would anyone be interested in this?

I have a Hytech header, and there's no CARB badge on it. I don't know if it's CARB legal, because in New Hampshire it doesn't matter.

people would buy it...
but.......this has been done before many times...people take dc carb plates and reweld them to other headers ALL the time. go to meets they pass out carb stickers and carb plates for cheap. But if a cop was to be nit picky with your stuff, they will run the serial number on your plate and check to see if its a comptech one. OR send you to ref because they think its fake. either way....

Even if you welded the CARB badge to the HyTech header, it still wouldn't pass as being CARB legal.

Shouldn't you get fined for doing that?
yes, i believe you do. If it goes past law enforcement ARB will have your ass. I work in the EPA building for the water board of CA, and i believe ARB has similar fines to ours which include a $1000 a day for failure to pay a fine/invoice

i wish i was in AZ no smog in some counties, but about the fines most likely you will be given a ticket to see BAR which is our inspection people. If they catch your car on the street when you have a BAR ticket thats a big no no since i believe your car is deemed unsafe for the streets. either way if you go to BAR its a $40 fee if you pass up to who knows
