This basically closes the door for any smaller shops to make CARB parts.
The smog requirements in CA in most populated counties are way worse than most other states. I do not have any data, but pretty sure the enthusiast car and motorcycle community impact on emissions is statistically insignificant. The EPA is trying to make the case they need to stay around for 20+ more years even though gas cars are losing more and more share.

Completely agree. If you have been listening to the Climate change activists and The comments by the president, the goal is zero emissions within our lifetime. They are using the EPA to enforce this agenda. Who are turning the screws to force us out of fossil fuel burning cars.
