so let's make this sweet and simple. ARE THERE ANY CARB LEGAL PRODUCTS FOR THE SCION TC?

any type whatsoever, and if there are, can we start listing them?

 

dont think there is any

 

any axel back exhaust is carb legal. or rather, irrelevant, since its after the cat anyway.

oh, and of course the TRD supercharger.

 

A set of pulleys or pulley is CARB legal ... ........ an 'S' pipe is legal. k&n drop in filter is legal. nology hot wires, an engine grounding kit and MMW ignition equalizer are also legal. Now as far as any horse power gain from any of these... IMO the pulley is the only thing that is going to get you a noticable gain. The others, you're probably not going to notice any gain from the good ol' butt dyno.

 

Therefore basically nada...

 

nice tires will give you a noticable gain in acceleration so will 14lb rims!!!

 

yeah but if a cop stops you.. he'll still ticket you for modified exhaust.

 

i think if you install all of the TRD accessories in your tC even if you got pulled over you won't get a ticket. From what i believe these parts were tested by TRD to pass CARB restrictions. well even if you would get a ticket, you have a huge chance of having it waived by the judge... just by playing dumb... because they are "Genuine TRD parts". if not then you can try suing TRD but for sure you are not going to win on that...

 

the intake says not aproved for cali and the exhaust there is an old post about some one getting a ticket for it while leaving a burger king

 

any exhaust after the cat has absolutely zilch, zero, nada, nothing to do with emissions. the only thing you can be nicked for is noise levels and/or the cop is just a dick and out to give more tickets.

 

yeah in cali you cannot modify your exhaust to be louder than stock. trd is a toyota factory part so that is ok. CARB only has to do with the emissions of the vehicle. that's what one of the cops down here told me.

 

What about intakes?
I know that AEM does no make a CAI for the Scion tC, but I say in their website that their CAIs are 50 state legal.
Is that true?

 

there are exceptions becouse no now one wants to add the charcole filter that is in all the new intakes becosue it kills power so most companys making intakes for new cars cant make that 50 state legal claim any more on all there intakes
