Here are what our clients have to say.

Best place ever! I searched different websites, trying to find a place that was affordable & also shipped to California with no luck. So happy I looked a little more. Thank you for having what needed! U ROCK!!!

The website was easy to use, I got a smokin' deal on my part (better price than any other supplier and I shopped around!), and it was shipped so quickly and safely, and arrived way before I expected it to. So much so, it's already on my vehicle!!! I will recommend Hot Exhaust to all my friends who enjoy upgrading their vehicles.

FAQs


Why do I need a CARB compliant catalytic converter in New York?

As of January 1, 2023, New York law bans the sale or installation of federal (EPA-only) aftermarket catalytic converters on gasoline-powered light and medium-duty vehicles. Only CARB-compliant converters approved by New York are legal, as they meet stricter emissions standards adopted from California.

Are catalytic converters required in NYC and the rest of New York State?

Yes, catalytic converters are required in NYC and all of New York State for vehicles originally equipped with them. They are essential for emissions control and passing annual inspections. Without a compliant converter, you risk failed inspections, fines, and registration issues.

How does a CARB compliant catalytic converter New York requirement impact my vehicle's emissions test?

When replacing a catalytic converter in New York, you must use a CARB-compliant, New York-approved unit to pass emissions tests. The NY Vehicle Inspection Program (NYVIP3) uses OBDII diagnostics on most 1996+ vehicles to check emissions system function. Non-compliant converters can trigger a check engine light and cause automatic test failure.

What happens if I install a non-CARB compliant catalytic converter in New York?

Installing a non-CARB-compliant catalytic converter in New York after January 1, 2023, is illegal and will cause emissions test failure and registration denial. Licensed installers and sellers face penalties for using non-compliant units. Always use a CARB-approved converter for replacement.
