Which Intake are you getting?!

[GodSays]

The injen one looks like crap!
I suggest everyone wait for AEM. They have been working on it for months. On a wide variety of cars here on the forum. Not just one frs and one brz in a weeks time
Seen their shop and design process so I know the final product will be top notch

None of the above, either PERRIN or TRD if they come out with one. That or whoever comes up with the CARB exempt intake first.

CARB exempt or CARB legal?

CARB exempt, although all items that are CARB exempt are smog legal.

Once an aftermarket part is smog legal it is given a CARB EO number making it exempt from emission control laws in California. EO stands for Executive Orders. You can read more info on it here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermk...es/amquery.php

Exempted parts are add-on or modified parts that have undergone an ARB engineering evaluation. If the part or modification is shown to not increase vehicle emissions, it is granted an exemption to emission control system anti-tampering laws. This exemption is called an Executive Order (EO) and allows the modification to be installed on specific emission controlled vehicles. Every Executive Order part or modification has an assigned number that can be verified by Smog Check stations, BAR Referee stations, or by the ARB.

Ah, okay,

Yeah, the Injen intake is being submitted to CARB for certification. You should be able to get a CARB sticker for it, like all of their other intakes.

For the price that one looks like a sure winner. Injen has a nice looking system as well.

I have, but I prefer Injen's polished pipe, purely from an aesthetic viewpoint.

I'll wait for SRT's intake......

None right now. Until there's one that can be proven not to cause any lean or rich deviations from the OEM specification.

I want these to be effective mods but I struggle to believe the manufacturer left easy gains on the table. It would make little sense unless some last minute issues were discovered and a short notice type redesign caused restriction, interference or temp issues.

What would it take to prove that, out of curiosity?

Not sure. I know some people have the A/F ratio printouts that can show it. I just don't want something to affect the engine in a possibly negative way, wether it be within 1 mile or within 10,000.

Basically want to avoid this issue.

I understand.

I've put 1300 miles on my intake so far without a CEL, thankfully.
