So I just took my 06mt in to get the headlights replaced and have a couple of minor warrantee issues taken care of and when the tech looked under the hood he told me my Stillen CAI was not CARB legal. Is this true? I also have plenum spacer and MREV installed along with HKS exhaust and am wondering how much trouble is it going to be to get smogged?

 

I don't see how an Intake such as Stillen will have any problems with inspection.

Should be perfectly fine.

.

 

iirc, it is not carb legal. but a lot of places won't notice it.

 

if you get pulled over and get sent to state referee.. your screwed. happend to me with my aem cai. i had to take it off and put the stock airbox on. just dont open your hood for any cops and you should be fine

 

I'm not worried about cops, just when I have to do smog inspection (which is still couple of years away). I figure if a cop is digging under my hood I'm already in a heap of trouble, lol.

 

There's a site somewhere that would help here... tells you all the carb numbers and you search by manufacturer. I'll dig it out later tonite...

 

just take it to a smog check place and they probably will still pass you. its only an intake. i dont think you should have problems

 

+1 if he's looking up the site i think he is. If it's not there, it's not CARB legal.

It'll depend if the smog tech is really snooping or not too.

 

U should have got injen... They're carb legal...
If u have a dick for an officer he will write u a ticket... A girl i knew had a 4 door integra with only an aftermarket intake and the officer wrote her a ticket... Just bad luck... And her car looks completely stock...

 

That is some bull I cant believe that he would give a ticket for that they must have been low on the quota

 

Here's the link to the California Air Resources Board page where you can look up parts by manufacturer or CARB number (or "Executive Order Number") -

http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php

Scroll down to "List Executive Order By Device", click on "Manufacturer", and well, the rest should be easy.

All parts with a CARB number is in here, so if you don't see it, it doesn't have a CARB number.

I suggest you guys bookmark this for future reference...

Oh and btw, it helps to have the part number. And... Stillen's last update for intakes was in 2000, so that means their G35 intake is not CARB legal (yet?).
