There sites dont say anything about being CARB. The only site that i know of that says their headers are carb is the DCsports site. If in fact the hotshot and trail are carb, can you give me a site to prove it because i still cant decide which header to get.

I dont think getting a header will cause your car to fail a CARB test. All your doing is increasing the diameter of the piping. There is no filter or muffler changes.

There's a visual check in CA as well, and you will fail the whole thing if an aftermarket part isn't approved (meaning it has a CARB E/O sticker on it).

dude, headers aren't worth it - a while back, someone posted the dyno tests - they were pathetic, you gain 3 or 4 hp tops

spend your money else where, there isn't a good header for our cars yet - someone was saying something about a new one coming out that looks way better, I can't remember the maker or anything though...

everything we do to our cars gets small hp increases, its all about how they add up down the road.
