E.P.A. Compliant vs. C.A.R.B. Compliant
C.A.R.B. Compliant converters have very high precious metal loading, which reduces emissions output.
- Required in California & Colorado
- Legal for all 50 States
E.P.A. Compliant converters have typically lower precious metal loading and are generally more price conscious.
