A little note about the wonderful state of CA. My understanding is that the state of California charges automotive aftermarket companies a good deal of money to get their parts CARB legalized and in return the state opens up the California market to the company. But if the state did not require everyone to be use only CARB legal parts the good people down at Edelbrock might not shell out the cash to the state and we don’t want that. So in the end I think it is a business decision on the states part to enforce the CARB laws on all cars so that they can maximize their market, charge the aftermarket companies out the a$$, who in turn can pass the expense on to use, the consumer.
Environment be damned it’s about business...
Sorry I got a bit carried away
