I dont think any of that stuff is carb legal just yet, but I could be wrong. As far as performance, I hear good things about the alphawerks header and injen intakes.

yea def if your going to break the law, go with the INJEN and the Alphaworks. hey if u have something illegal is it one ticket? so like if im going to get a 20% tint, i mind as well get overlays, intake, headers, catback exhaust, and a gun in the car?

Don't hate the cops. They're not there to make life for us miserable. They do.. but that's not their purpose.

Blame the hippies on the CARB board.

Go the speed limit and don't worry about it. Speeding...even one mph is AGAINST THE LAW. Yes, it is a traffic infraction and no misdemeanor or felony (until we get to wreckless driving, lol) but it is still against the law. No, not all cops will pull you over for 3mph....all depends on how bored he/she is at that moment and what else is done to your car that might be illegal. We got one motorcycle cop around here that has NO MERCY for anyone....even has given relatives tickets, and other cops tickets (usually doesn't go well during briefing in the morning, lol). But, anyways, back on topic that only thing smog legal that would be worthwhile is a catback exhaust, anything before the cat. is what they look at. Nothing but the TRD s/c, pulleys, and a computer management would be legal (pretty sure computer isn't, but how the hell would they know). Could also get the head worked by ZPI for some nice power gains since you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the outside.
