Trd cold-air intake question!

im not sure but from what Toyota told me having both there cold air intake and exhaust ill pass smog not a 100% sure but about 98% sure

 

just put a stickie not on the intake saying" carb exempt" and your good to go

 

There's a reason why when you go to the Toyota corporate site and look under PERFORMANCE ACCESSORIES for the Tacoma that you don't see anything there but the CAT Back. It's the only PERFORMANCE accessory that's CARB legal and all others should be considered as aftermarket whether or not it voids warrenty or not. If Toyota says it won't pass smog than I would believe them and look for options or do as others have said and put the origional back on before smogging.

 

Ugh...resurrection because this just came up and only a few days short of this thread being a year old.

Somebody that has a number to call (*cough cough* Chris *cough cough* sorry I got that Swine flu. ) want to call and ask them. Pleasie weasie...???

 

The solution is.............

Get the TRD Supercharger, it comes with the CARB sticker.....

If/when you get pulled over or smogged, just tell them the CAI is part of the Supercharger kit, most people think it is all one part any way, unless you tell them different.

Worked for me.

=D

 

Both of the K&N kits for the Tacoma say they are NOT CARB exempt. I put the TRD on mine. I'm not worried about the inspection as it looks stock to me.

 

Spend a few grand to get a sticker

 

lol that's what I was thinking.

Well, it doesn't mater too much but I guess if you really were skeptical don't give polie an excuse to look under the hood/buy a S/C kit/tell them it was stock.
