I didnt get the V2 becuase I dont think its worth the extra 115 bucks...but I got the AEM CAI 1 or what ever you want to call it for 158 bucks free shipping..

exactly....we have to have AEM they have to be CARB legal....wish I could have built one

but doesn't that only mean if you get pulled over and the cop checks that you could get a ticket for one? or do they actually check emissions, cuz in WI all they do is check the computer and it takes about 5 mins and they don't check the engine or exhaust2kstreetcivic said:
i/m sure it does if you are going to have to pay hundreds in fines if it ain't legal and copps are dicks about it. From where i am around, it doesn't matter thoughbaby99si said:
if the intake is not CARB legal then you wont pass smog....and emissions....California sucks for all its laws, so we have to get a CARB legal intake..and yes it is worth itocbasbalburg said:
why bother getting a carb legal intake when your swap isnt going to be legal?sicrx1986 said:
You are still going to get ticketed if a cop pops your hood (which wont happen, a cop DOES NOT have probable cause to search your vehicle for a traffic violation)its not. California people just like to use smog as an excuse. Putting the stock airbox back on for smog purposes takes 20 - 30 mins tops. My civics intake wasnt carb legal.baby99si said:
However, as part of the "stop the hating" movement on clubcivic, i wont comment anymore about this issue in this thread. Fact of the matter is 2kstreetcivic got himself an intake, and the car is going to perform and sound a little better now 8)

haha, Melt...you make very good points...and I totally agree with you its probably not worth the money to buy AEM intake and I am partly using the smog law as an excuse...But I wanted a name brand intake, and I dont want to have to take it off to get it smoged or whater ever...did you have a diy intake on your civic?....and yes, it will sound MUCH better im my opinionMelt said:why bother getting a carb legal intake when your swap isnt going to be legal?
