Hi Gary,
Yes, the Honker, as the rest of our engine components will be CARB
approved well before the time you need to put your car onto the
rollers...
We are in the middle of a CARB EO (executive order) for our
supercharger kits, and Honker, exhaust, etc..
Yes, cold (dense) air certainly makes a noticable difference in
performance.
Enjoy!
I will be able to schedule customers for all types of Callaway
installations starting in February, here in Laguna Canyon (of all
places!) It will be our temporary facility until we find the proper
place in Irvine.
Best Regards,
Pete Callaway
