C.A.R.B. legal stuff for my 2012 2.7 ???

I've been searching for CA legal performance equipment for my new 4x4 std. cab 2.7. What did I find? Nada! No (good) air intakes, headers, turbo/supercharger kits which are CARB legal.

If you know of CARB legal stuff for my '12 2.7l...............PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Seriously bummed. I thought for sure that due to the number of Taco's here in CA that there'd be lots of stuff. Yeah, I know that being a new truck it won't get smogged anytime soon, but I don't want to put the stock crap back on later (unless I have no choice that is).

 

Did you ever find any C.A.R.B. legal headers or air intakes? I too would like to get more power outta my 4 banger!

 

I don't think there are any super/turbo charger kits for the 4 banger that are CARB certified

I would think there are some header options though...doesn't Doug Thorley make them for the 4cyl CARB legal? I know they do for the 6cyl, at least on 1st gens.

 

Doug thorley makes a carb legal Tri-Y header

Yes!

 

I also recommend an aFe dry drop in filter. Super easy to swap back to stock, and flows more than the stock filter i believe. Also washable and reusable

You can carouse this thread. Lots of the stuff is not carb legal, but it's a comprehensive list of most things out there for the 2TR

A catback exhaust could give you some more power. They should all be CARB legal since they are after the catalytic converters

edit: just realized california may not be aftermarket exhaust friendly

 

Thanks for the info I will check out the DT headers. I do have a catback exhaust installed and think it does help a bit. Just would like a bit more for passing on the fwy. Thanks!

A regear really helps out these 4 bangers quite a bit, but it is pricy.
