Ok, ok, LOL. That's just not true. Via the California Air Resource Board:
"Exempted parts are add-on or modified parts that have undergone an ARB engineering evaluation. If the part or modification is shown to not increase vehicle emissions, it is granted an exemption to emission control system anti-tampering laws. This exemption is called an Executive Order (EO) and allows the modification to be installed on specific emission controlled vehicles. Every Executive Order part or modification has an assigned number that can be verified by Smog Check stations, BAR Referee stations, or by the ARB."
Granted, California has the most stringent vehicle modification laws. So much so that other state's have adopted California's rules and will require C.A.R.B numbers for mods. However, they aren't illegal, they are granted EO's. When in doubt, just stick to the parts with C.A.R.B. EO numbers.
Hope this helps.
