It would be so easy for the OP to find out the answer by doing a simple search... I am going to side with Doug and say yes

California is going to be eliminating CARB requirements on motorized vehicles in the hope that the increase in smog levels will help to fight the H1V1 virus and Staph aureus bacteria. They will be recommending, however, that people begin wearing gas masks as the smog levels rise.

The state government is already getting a jump start on this and has contacted some very famous fashion designers to design gas masks that even the Hollywood elite and rap artists would wear. One fashion concept is to bring back the western scarve, or "wildrag," and embed into the material smog scrubbers based on nano-technology.

That makes perfect sense.

On the downside, they will be mandating the phase out of fuel injection. They want to bring back the use of carberators. The thought process is that if they can get the smog levels high enough, it will kill various virus' and bacteria before they get a chance to start a widespread plague.

I'm looking into investing money into companies that make western scarves and companies that are developing nono-technology based smog scrubbers. Nonetheless, carberators will be making a come back in CA, so companies who still make carberators might be good investments. Do not invest in companies who make catalytic converters, though. Legislation will be passed madating that all catalyitic converters be removed and replaced with straight pipes. Also, they are bringing leaded gasoline back too.

Doug, Mike and I were being satirical. Not only has this question been asked and answered countless times in this forum, which a simple search would have shown, somebody asked this question, and it was answered, just 1 day prior to the OP's initial post. In fact, that thread was only 3 or 4 places down from the top at that time.... That makes the question stupid and this thread worthless. If someone starts a worthless thread with a stupid question, they just may get stupid answers.

It allowed me to rant about California politics though, so I didn't mind.

Well considering most of this thread is off topic and these are newly designed drone-free exhaust components for the FI crowd from Motordyne , others might be interested, so... There won't be a thread until I've done all the testing I feel I need to do. As it stands, I haven't received all of the axle back designs - they are en route. Plenty of vids will be forthcoming once a full comparison can be done. I will post a thread into FI forum and reference it from the huge MD thread in the intake/exhaust forum. Stay tuned but I need at least a full week after all components are in. If you were talking about the shockwave TDX vids, they are in my build thread, link in sig.

I could hear you for a good two minutes after you left. Your car is insanely low and LOUD.

HAHAHA, and I was purposely trying to be as quiet as possible! It's gotta come back up when I do an overhaul in a month. Now way to even get up on Sharif's dyno. Looks great but isnt very practical at all. I've also pushed my car out of the garage and started in the street before when I've had to be in the lab early in the morning

I'll definitely be bugging you soon about gettin my Haltech setup. finally got the ball rolling

but ya, glad we r not in Cali!
