if you keep the cats - its legal

B1uEsC1uEs

so then why do other websites that sell the same exact header say its illegal?

this is the first time I have ever seen this. This might be a good option. I wonder how the performance and sound will turn out to be?

i have no clue about the headers you are in question about - im saying in general - look to see if both cats are still there - if they are you are set. Most headers are illegal because they get rid of the cats which gives you better performance, makes the car louder, and puts more garbage into the air. You choose. CA cares a lot more about that stuff then new jersey so i havent even looked into it.

hMmM thats what i was thinking, wouldnt this header delete the cat?

Its a mistake contact DC Sports and they will tell you it isn't .

I would buy it and make sure its got the certified carb exempt badge on it and such...

bbsciontc

if you read the info, it mentions k series engines. That description is taken froma an rsx/civic si header that is carb approved. There are NO carb approved headers fo the tC.

If that header were made for the tC, it would be legal-- that design only replaces the primary pipes above the catalyst-- that's how the Honda K header acheives CARB approval. I'm still waiting for someone to come out with a top section replacement... I live in Cali-- a full header simply isn't worth the risk in this state.

Yeah if the converter is gone it's illegal. I just put my DC Headers on and on tha box it says that is Illegal on the Highways and Streets. So that should answer the question on the DC Headers

hahaha

all header are not street legal because they all do not have a CARB OE #

just wondering, so you're gonna just swap it out everytime there's a smog check? I think I might just do that too.

yeah no crap. I think im just ganna get the alphawerks and have my friends dad do my inspection. Most places like jiffy lube or any run down shop that does inspections, just record you mileage and look and see that your car is brand new. Then they slap that sticker on there. Having to change out your headers back to stock when inspection time comes up is something i really don't wanna do.

so whats the word on the AW headers? Legal?

hahaitzskippy

all header ATM are illegal, not street legal, for off-road use only, not carb exempt. blah balh blah

so in other words, you can get ticketed some states for having a modified exhaust
