PRL Motorsports is proud to announce an important milestone for our intake lineup. Several of our most popular intake systems have officially received CARB certification, making them 50 state legal for use across the United States.
This certification confirms that these products meet strict emissions compliance standards while maintaining the performance, reliability, and engineering quality that drivers expect from PRL. With this approval, enthusiasts across the country can now run these intake systems with confidence, knowing they are compliant for road use nationwide, including in California.
For our team, achieving CARB certification represents more than just regulatory approval. It reflects our ongoing goal to develop performance parts that deliver measurable gains while maintaining responsible emissions compliance. As the performance aftermarket continues to evolve, we remain committed to expanding the number of PRL products that meet these standards without compromising the performance that defines our brand.
What 50 State Legal Means for Drivers
When a product is designated as 50 state legal, it means it has received an Executive Order from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). This approval confirms that the part does not negatively impact a vehicle’s emissions system and can legally be used on public roads in all states.
For drivers and builders, this opens the door to running proven PRL intake systems without concerns about emissions compliance or inspection restrictions. It also allows dealers and shops nationwide to confidently offer these products to customers in markets that require CARB certification.
Newly CARB Certified PRL Intake Systems:
FL5 Civic Type-R and DE5 Acura Integra Type-S
These intake systems are designed for the latest generation Honda and Acura performance platforms and are compatible with both the Honda Civic Type-R (FL5) and Acura Integra Type-S (DE5).
Approved products include:
• PRL High Volume Intake System
• PRL Stage 1 Intake System
• PRL Matte Carbon High Volume Intake System
• PRL Silicone Intake Hose Kit
FK8 Civic Type-R
The Honda Civic Type-R (FK8) helped define the modern turbocharged Type-R platform, and these newly certified intake systems continue to support that generation with proven PRL engineering.
Approved products include:
• PRL High Volume Intake System
• PRL Stage 1 Intake System
• PRL Silicone Intake Hose Kit
Continuing the Expansion of 50 State Legal PRL Products
This certification represents an important step forward for PRL Motorsports as we continue expanding our lineup of 50 state legal performance products. Our engineering team remains committed to developing high quality components that deliver real performance while meeting the strict standards required for emissions compliance. As additional products complete the CARB certification process, we look forward to bringing more PRL performance solutions to drivers across the country.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue pushing the boundaries of performance for the Honda and Acura platforms.
