A move like this could easily put this intake in the #1 slot above the PRL Cobra as it would be the ONLY Carb Legal Option.

Lots of Cars in CA buying intakes.:thumbsup:
Carb legal would be a great option but the process for it is slow. I live in CA and still waiting for the crab sticker from Injen. I been runing injen CAI for almost a year now.

after some recent convo with the team this has moved up on the priority list.
Is it up in the high priority list? I would love to join the 27WON Family! There seems to be only one CARB Certified Legal Intake so far, I believe the Mishimoto one. I prefer getting the 27WON CAI seeing how the other one suffers from heatsoak. I'd also get that REDEFINE banner or some other 27WON Window or Bumper Decal as well if this gets CARB Certified. Mishi Intakes in California are going to get toasted if this Intake gets greenlit!

As of right now its not urgent for the organization as we are pooling our resources to the areas that make the most sense right now and CARB status is a bit lower on the list.

If you really need CARB stuff, you can find plenty of it if you look hard enough. It's everywhere really. ;)

What is the process?
It seems the process is extensive testing and high expenses completing the CARB test for certification. 27WON could potentially sell many many CAI in California and eventually make up the expense cost of getting it CARB Certified but it seems it is not on their high priority list. They have been considering this since 2018 and it is frustrating that the CARB process for 27WON is at a standstill it seems like. Feels like the only way in California is the illegal way. Will it be CARB Certified before 2021? I am starting to doubt at this point. I guess I'll be stuck with the stock intake. I will not go with that oily heatsoaked box Mishimoto that's for sure.
