Almost two decades ago, Honda's V45 Sabre introduced the firm's trademark V-Four powerplant to the masses. Over the years, it has matured into a flexible, stunningly powerful engine, a high-water mark among Honda's considerable engineering feats. But it wasn't until the current Magna was introduced that the engine was mated to a stylish chassis worthy of the name power cruiser. Cobra has a set of slip-on mufflers--in a Slashcut style--that unleash the throaty roar of Honda's distinctive four-banger.
The state of California considers aftermarket exhaust systems to be legal replacement parts for non-catalyst equipped motorcycles and/or if slip-on mufflers are installed downstream of the OEM catalysts.
California does not allow the use of aftermarket systems that remove original equipment catalysts, (except for racing use only) unless the Air Resources Board has issued an Executive Order for that system.
For California riders we offer Air Resources Board approved Fi2000 R ARB units. (ARB E.O. No. D-633-1). All other Fi2000 models are not legal for street use in California.
