Expanding 50 State Legal Options Without Compromise
More PRL Motorsports Charge Pipe Upgrade Kits have officially been issued a CARB Executive Order (#D-878-9), expanding our lineup of 50-state legal performance products across some of the most popular Honda platforms. This includes applications for the FK8 Civic Type-R, FL5 Civic Type-R, 11th Gen Civic 1.5T, and Accord 2.0T.
This milestone reflects a continued focus on delivering performance parts that meet strict regulatory standards while maintaining the engineering quality and real-world results our customers expect.
Why Upgrade Your Charge Pipes
Factory charge pipes are often one of the most restrictive and failure-prone components in a turbocharged system. Designed with cost and mass production in mind, they can limit airflow and become a weak point as power increases.
PRL Motorsports Charge Pipe Upgrade Kits are engineered to address these limitations directly. With smooth internal transitions, increased diameter, and reinforced construction, they promote more efficient airflow from the turbocharger through the intercooler system.
The result is a more consistent and reliable power delivery, improved throttle response, and a system that is better suited for both stock and modified vehicles. Just as important, these upgrades are designed for precise fitment and durability to perform under demanding conditions.

What the CARB EO Means
The issuance of CARB EO #D-878-9 means these products are now officially recognized as 50-state legal for emissions-controlled vehicles when used as intended.
For customers, this provides confidence and peace of mind. You can install and run these components knowing they meet strict compliance requirements, without needing to compromise on performance or drivability.
For PRL Motorsports, this represents a continued investment in engineering and validation. Securing an Executive Order is a detailed process that requires careful design consideration and thorough testing. It's a direct reflection of our commitment to producing parts that meet high standards across every category.
Our Ongoing Mission
At PRL Motorsports, our goal is simple. We develop performance products that deliver real results while aligning with compliance standards required for real-world use. This latest round of EO approvals is another step forward, with more on the way.
