Im looking to buy a CAI for my FC i live in CA, can someone help me out by knowing if what kind i can get that is street legal i tried a few places like K&N but i cant find one thats CA Legal.
reply to me on this or pm me please if you can help thnx.

 

I dont think there is a CARB legal cold air intake for the fc, the only thing you can do is get a k&n drop in filter or use the stock stuff for inspection and swap out the intake once your passed. thats how ive done it for years houston has very strict emmissions/modification laws now a days so i feel your pain.

 

none.

 

Pretty much nothing is CARB legal for the FC....

 

except for stock.

 

Since it's just an intake, you could always just swap it back to stock every 2 years you need to smog (and the few times in-between for fix-it tickets)

 

just going to have to play a fake.. get an intake system, paint the tubing wrinkle black, use a real K&N cone filter, then try to slap a K&N decal on teht tube and say its a k&N system.. Get a carb decal from another car

 

The K&N intake for the S4 is carb legal, but not a cold air intake

HKS intakes for both S4 and S5 that begin with 1504 are also carb legal

Even if they don't come with a sticker you can just print up the carb E0 sheet and keep it in your glove box

You can always mock up a fake Stock box and have the intake in the front end.

Seems like you're worrying about something that you shouldn't be too worried about. If you drive like a normal person and don't race everywhere you go then you won't get pulled over, which in turn means you won't have your hood popped.

 

im running an intake, and i had my hood popped before, but the cops didnt find anything wrong. I just kept the air duct piece that goes on the fan shroud on and used the same turbo inlet and airflow meter with a intake mount and a black coloered airfilter. it looks stock. They couldnt get me , so they gave me a batery tie down fix it ticket -_-
