You didn't hear that you basically can't tune your car in Cali anymore?

I heard that.
Now I'm just watching all the things they're doing to try to enforce it.
The other day I heard about them starting some noise trap program that uses cameras.
Sorta' like red light cameras that mail you a ticket.
The police have started pulling people over leaving car shows and looking under their hoods for anything other than OEM parts.

Other vendors will ship a KTuner kit to CA. I was looking at one the other day but I want the 1.2 and they only had the standalone 2.0. I don't need all that. I have a laptop.

Two step performance shipped it out to me with no problem
They just stopped the sale of all downpipes to CA and NY the other day. Still, there's other methods of getting a downpipe. A lot of people in SoCal can drive 3-4 hours to 27won HQ and pick one up there. Not sure why they can the sale of everything when they can just ask us to confirm it won't be used on the street and is a racing only part for a car you tow to the track and from the track type thing. They're trying to implement cameras with decibel meters to fine people with loud exhausts which is funny because it's mainly those loud Harley's doing the most.

Pulling over cars leaving car shows has been a thing since.. forever.

They're making crime where there is none. They found a gold mine, so instead of us spending hard earned money on car parts we'll be paying tickets on the double.

Hondata Carb, mishimoto intercooler/piping, mishimoto intske. Only carb legal things. MHI stage 2 turbo is also carb legal and has a tune on Hondata carb. Makes around 250whp/270wtq which isnt bad, but when you consider that phearable stage 1.5R/tsp stage 1+ Hit higher numbers with a stock turbo it makes it look shitty. What can you do about it though. If youre going to run stuff you know is illegal try to keep your exhaust volume down and dont make your car stand out too much. It helps.

That sucks! 2 Step and 27Won were two companies I thought I could order from. You snooze you lose I guess. ☹ California's a big state too. I'm a lot further from 27Won than 3-4 hours.

If the laws weren't known or obvious you'd have a point. But California has been pulling people over and enforcing these same laws since I first started modifying imports back in 1999. Do the laws suck? Yes. but everyone knows and everyone chooses to try and break the laws, so don't act like it's the state's fault when they enforce the laws you know are there.

27won MIGHT still ship. I believe RV6 ships to CA still since they have that check box option saying its off-road use only and you understand.

I was just able to order a KTuner 1.2 from a well known vendor. I don't want to put them on blast here but if you can't find a vendor that will ship to you send me a DM.
