CARB-Compliant High-Flow Catted Downpipes for F85

Blue By You · 08-31-2022, 10:00 PM

I just realized that AA's are EPA -compliant but not CARB-compliant. So I figured most others might be too. Anyone know of any that are CARB-compliant for the F85?

I do not know of any quality high flow cat thats carb approved for the f85/86. The two best cats are GESI and HJS and both are not. Magnaflow cats are not in the same league (some are carb approved)

Red Star is saying that two of their options are OBDII compliant and one of them states that its 49-state-compliant. Hmmm...

Aren't you in Massachusetts? Wondering why would you need something that's CARB compliant when that's only applicable in CA.

Massachusetts and other states have also adopted CARB emissions standards.

Ah okay...figured it was only for CA since it stands for California Air Resource Board. haha

I had redstar downpipes on my Alfa...super quality. They also use GESi and HJS the best ones available. Not carb approved but EPA.
