ULEV stands for Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle.....these are basically code words for Ultra Slow Emissions Vehicle. All of the laws and regulations in the United States that bring forth these standards are basically made to save the environment at the expense of......POWER! So if you're question is.....Will this modification kill little turtles in the local pond by my house?...NO, it won't. Obviousely it isn't going to be great for the environment, but it won't affect the emissions of your vehicle to the point where the modification will prevent you from passing an emissions test. Whether anybody wants to admit it or not, our cars are engineered as grocery carrying economy cars...not with the street racer in mind. To make these cars worth driving, things like emissions have to take a back seat in the big picture. So just slap that exhaust on and then atleast our trip to the grocery store is a little bit faster.
(Funny thing....as i was typing this....a Honda emissions commercial just came up on the TV) :hehehe:
