sounds good and all but ....
AKMEE Engineering's parts are NOT CARB approved. It was designed for FOR OFF-ROAD USE ONLY. It is the purchaser's responsibility to check and comply with all local, state, and federal law.

if you have the correct tune the only time it should fail would be under oart/full throttle.
