Well, the S/C kit did not pass the emission test. So don't know if there will ever be a S/C kit for TL.

BTW, the car still feels solid. Comptech did a great job in clean out my dirty engine compartment.

 

There might be, but with less gains..

Is that emmissions for California or for all the states?

 

No emissions in Florida. YESSSSS!

 

Maybe for once, us 99 TLs will get something the 00 and up can't get The reason why Comptech wanted to test 00 and up TL is because of the ULEV emission. Since the Accord V6 and the 99TL is basically the same, and obviously, the Accord V6 already passed the emission, hurray for us. :toothless :smokin:

 

pretty sad but true. It appears that 99TL will benefit from this. But for 2000+ TL owner with ULEV engines, we are screwed.

 

its gotta be just CA with the super-strict emmisions... i dont care if my car goes from ULEV to LEV... make the damn SC

 

who cares about the ULEV

get a SC, run a no-cat straight pipe exhaust ........ =)

 

I care about ULEV. Because I can't register!!!!!

 

Ah-ha!...I have FINALLY found a downfall to living in Cali!!!

Good old NY...gotta love a state that you can bribe your way around emissions.

 

HAHA! that is not the downfall! You can find your way around getting your car to pass soo easy! you just got to have the right connectionz :p

 

Right, if you have the $$$, nothing its impossible
haha

 

Yeah~ Right Connectionz = You mean Ivan?

 

im glad my car isnt an ULEV, how gay is that...honestly, contech is gonna bank off the sc reguardless of what cali says...west coast is tight, but yall got some retard ass laws but some fire ass chronic...Shyne

 

they can always said, COmptech SC for "off road use"
haha

 

It'll say 49 state legal.

 

damn ElegantTL!! is that your car slam on coilovers or is photoshopped... That thing look BADA$$.

 

photochoppy! haha...too bad it isn't real....................yet.. :p :p

 

It's more complicated than this. Some states have adopted CA emissions standards even though they don't set the standard. For example, in MA all new cars sold must meet the CA emissions standards which means all MA cars must have CA emissions regs in place. As a result of this, the feds mandate that all *surrounding* states also only sell cars that have CA emissions regs in place. Why? Because the odds of someone buying a car in a neighboring state and either returning to MA or eventually moving to MA are higher than in a non-adjoining state. So here in New England, all new cars sold in VT, NH, RI, CT and NY are CA emissions compliant. Even though these states may have less restrictive emissions requirements, they still have to sell CA-compliant cars just because of MA. I bought my car in western CT and I live in MA and of course, the car has the correct emissions certs.

Manufactures can't afford to release stuff nowdays that doesn't comply to all 50 states. It's too costly to try and control where your stuff ends up and then the ensuing problems when consumers who don't pay attention to the fine print get a big fat ticket for failing emissions and then want their money back because the product isn't street legal.

I haven't seen too many manufactures in the last 5 years that will release a product for street use that does not conform to CA emissions. If there's any doubt, you get the "For off-road use only" disclaimer on the package.

As a result, I doubt you will see this S/C released until it complies with CA emissions. If it doesn't, I doubt it'll ever get released.

 

as long as it gets released, whatever its labeled as is fine.. i'm sure we've all seen the cars and bikes that have exhaust components that would never pass emmisions.. so if it says "off-road only" but still qualifies for LEV instead of ULEV, i don't think it'll impact the sales
