Carb cert and Base 3.2 SC
I find out from Comptech that the base 3.2 SC is a while away because of the ULEV standard of the emmissions. They say it makes Carb cert more difficult. My question is what does that Carb Cert really mean, how does it help us and last but not least what would happen if they didnt make oe and I put a Type S kit on instead?

I presume your talking about the CL (ULEV status) vs. the CL Type-S (LEV status).
The ULEV is a "tougher" and cleaner emissions standard and it makes it "harder" to add mods that meet the "tougher" standard (ULEV).

MORE STUFF....
CARB is the California Air Resources Board (Cal stuff).
To get a "waiver"/"exemption order", an after market parts maker need to have the mods certified. The process depends on the exact mod (there is a line that can be called and/or e-mail to contact). IN general, it costs $$$, and Comptech needs to have the tailpipe contents "checked" by a certified testing lab. to insure that the product meets a specific standard.
