There used to be one but now along with the c.a.r.b. certification it is required that a c.a.r.b. certified tune go with it. From what I can see no company has that? Am I missing one, is there one out there?
Wait what?From what I see and I could be (hoping) missing something-- its a NO for Procharger, Vortech, Whipple and Kennebell. From what I have been able get California used to accept a C.A.R.B. certification that covered the tune that came with the SC. but now they want a certification on the SC. and a separate cert. for the tune, and now there is none of the SC that are legal in Ca. I was hoping maybe Im missing something or there is one available that has the Cert. for both the SC. and Tune.
Wait what?
CARB is California. California Air Resource Board.
What you're saying literally makes no sense. You're basically saying California just outlawed every CARB legal kit. You're either misinformed or misunderstanding what you're being told.
Vortech ditched their CARB legal 99/01 kits a few years ago and procharger followed suit soon after. Kenne bell only offered a kit as long as they could get the lower manifold from ford. Whipple never offered a kit for the 99/01 platform from what I recall.
Unless you can find someone selling a CARB legal kit used You're SOL short of a full terminator swap.
I know what CARB is doing and has been doing.CARB is going after ANY non-approved alteration of ANY part of a car's drivetrain, that includes the tune. No way a company will spend money on an older platform to recertify.
I think El Centro is the same way.Get yourself an address in an unincorporated region of CA. I.e. Needles.
no more smog.

For sure.. Most of the Imperial Valley is no smog.
I went to smog my turbo fix there and got told hell no. Part of the reason I got rid of it.
I’m sure I could’ve found a hookup, but the guy that told me know was working in a dead end alley. I specifically went there because it looked shady.

Yeah. You can't just show up at a shop like that. Just because it looks shady doesn't mean they're dumb. You have to know someone that knows something in a case like that.Plus those guys can smell a cop a mile away.
A friend tries this recently in a county with no smog requirement. He was trying to use his other friends address.lol you have to register a car at an address in that city. Then DMV will no longer require a smog to hand over your tags when you pay registration.
Pain in the ass, but it's been done.
Finding a "friendly" shop is getting harder and harder especially since CA started throwing techs in jail for clean piping.Yeah. You can't just show up at a shop like that. Just because it looks shady doesn't mean they're dumb. You have to know someone that knows something in a case like that.

The DMV wanted proof of residency such as a utility bill or mortgage statement.
This was just last year I believe.
