How is getting a tune to disable codes and installing HFCs (when some states don't allow you to modify the emission system) legal? |
Because all you're legally required to do is present a car with no codes. That's all. You're over thinking this.

I think a few states, yours, and probably MA, use CA standards for smog because CA has the biggest Nazis in terms of emissions standards |

I'm in South AR where, if we have any auto pollution laws, they aren't enforced, so it doesn't matter to me. :)
The only reason I can think of to get CARB certification is if you live in CA or think you might eventually sell you car to someone that does. Nice to have but I gotta agree with Chuck33079 - it shouldn't be a deal-breaker if it's not certified. |
Maybe GTM should contract with Stillen to get the GTM kit through CARB certification.

The CARB approval process seems to be one big cluster f*ck from what I have seen, even looking at other platforms. GTM could be doing everything but if Cali is just taking their time, then there is nothing more they can do. Also remember the Stillen tune that was 'approved' for CARB was complete sh1t. From reports on here people who ran it always had problems and had to jump ship to a custom tune just to run the car. |

Guess what I have kept up with it, and how do you know it is GTM? You are just basing on the fact that Stillen got their SC kit approved. But again, that was with a sh*tty tune. What if GTM is trying to make a good tune pass inspection that actually works? CARB approval is known to be corrupt and worthless, do some research on it and how bad it is. |

This is all business 101. The demand is low. There is competition, but the offering is inferior. They have correctly calculated that most of their Califorina customers will just buy their kit anyway and take the chance with the inspection process or will place the blame on "the process". I'm a realist and I'm patient. I have not purchased any kit waiting on the GTM kit to finally be CARB certified. |
What is the standard turn around time for CARB approval? I'd assume it's not handled immediately upon application.
