Good question I was wondering if this had CARB pending on it like so many other performance mods. Also, how much did you pay to get it installed and where; or did you do it yourself? If you did it yourself how difficult was it? Thanks!

the DC had a piece of paper saying," This is a JDM parts and that they are not responsible for you not passing emissions tests." I am not quite sure whats really gonna happen, but hell I am just gonna install my heat sheild and I know they won;t look anyway. I am still gonna buy one.

the people at the smog shop never bugged me about all the crap i did to the civic....they are pretty stupid around here....or there is always the 150bucks and your reg to the smog shop your buddy owns and magic happens and your papers come back saying passed!
but anyway if u had the headers on and u went to smog it.....the only place you would fail is the visual....but i highly doubt they would give u grief about it....they would run it and if it passed collect their money$$$ and send you on your way....

Hey there Stylis! So, has your opinion changed about the CARB approval (or lack thereof) for a SC or turbo or is it cuz headers are easier to put on and take off than full blown SC or turbo? Would that heat shield you would be installing be for the exhaust? Just wondering.... :D

The EL piece looks really nice...
Although the flange is really inconsistant. Take a look at each runner, they arent a perfect circle in diameter. I think thats why the DC one is a little bit more. They pride themselves on there CNC flanges and it shows.
Anyways, I'd like to see the dyno charts to see how much bottom end loss there is if any and how much usable gain there is.
Stylis >> Its a differenty type of ceramic coating. EL looks very similar to HOT JET. Not quite sure what process DC uses. Either way they both work.
