your better off trading in your car and buying factory boosted cars, by the time the tC kit gets carb approved you should be almost done with the payments of your car.

thats a very true statement, however, most aftermarket companies dont go for CARB exemption/approval b/c of the time and cost involved. it is faster, easier, and cheaper to stamp the website, and product box "for off-road use only"!!!!

now the big brand companies like Greedy (and maybe turbonetics) have the time and funds to fight that battle but it is still very hard b/c the kit changes the emissions, and thats always a big no, no for CARB even if its just a little and its still within state specs. they dont want emissions to go up at all!

ETA: 2-3 Months
Price Range: Cheaper then Turbonetics.
Engine Management: Stock ECU (not a typo)

does this tC have a nitrous kit too??

That that crazy wavy manifold somehow creates more HP than the "log" manifolds of other kits? How?

I had a tubular manifold from Full Race on my DSM, it did not crack. Depends who you get it from, this manifold is constructed well and will last you a long time. Dont worry about it.

They could have cleaned it up a little if you ask me. Nice mani though.

the bracket on the radiator seems to be placed wider.
