Default Halltech intake filter

I have had a Halltech Venom II installed on my 2006 LS2 since new. Today a California "test only" station failed me because I did not have a "stock" filter. The car passed well within emission thresholds. 21K miles with original runflats (babied?).

Anyone know where I stand with these idiots. Does this intake filter have a Ca CARB # or OE #??? Help, please.

Im glad I dont live in the state of Cali. You can buy dope but not a non OEM filter. Go figure. Make one out of marijuana and say your car has a perscription for it and I bet it passes. lol.

CARB requirements for EO numbers are insane. We spent 1 year of paperwork to get certified and then the other shoe dropped when they insisted on a 150,000 mile test. Right. That would take around 5 years of driving to accomplish, then what?

Yep, CARB and EPA are out of control.

That's just BS. If it passed, it passed. You probably did more good than harm with your mod.
