Pretty much anything that tampers or removes any factory emission components is not carb legal. Its a lengthy and expensive process to get something carb exempt.
Even if it passes smog or not. The tC will never have any form of forced induction, excluding the supercharger, that is carb legal.

You cant make it carb legal NO MATER WHAT YO DO. Te Carb legal is all through certifications and all of that. Tkae the sueprcharger for instance. The whole issue with it taking so long to come out was they wanted to make it 50 state legal. And that costs alot of money and time to do.
