WHAT kind OF INTAKE IS ALLOWED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

What kind of intake is allowed in the state of california

need one

 

engine mods in california are very strict. if i recall, there is very little that you are allowed to do to the engine.

of course, your engine mods only get looked at when you get a visual inspection during a smog check. so, if you can find a shop that will overlook your engine mods, then the skies the limit

 

I think you want to make sure any parts you buy are CARB approved or CARB exempt.

 

Or if the po-po decides to get investigative on you for being a jerk. I thought there were a couple of CARB approved intakes out there...just make sure it is LABLED as such though...automatic fail if it isn't. CARB sucks btw.

 

I believe the Volant is CARB Approved.

 

Shit, scratch the idea of ever going to live in California, I didn't realize it was THAT bad!

EDIT: Wait Never mind, I'm legally registered in OR, no matter where I go, EXEMPT! Phew.

 

and smog check isn't required for the first 5 years unless you sell it.

 

Just make sure whatever you get it comes with a CARB sticker.

 

teheheh... i can pass smog

 

Just throwing this out there, how hard would it be to fab a carb sitcker?

 

You'd have to have a CARB ID number with the sticker.

 

my k&n came with carb sticker

 

AEM Brute Force Air Induction is pending approval. By the time you need to get it smogged, it'll have been approved. Just ordered mine last week autoanything hosed me, so I won't be getting it shipped for a couple weeks. I'll let you know how everything pans out, with pics if you can hold out 2-3 weeks...imagine my disappointment.

Other websites have them in stock and not on b/o if you're impatient...
