Default What is the best CARB legal cold air intake?

So, what is the best CARB legal cold air intake? I would love to get the Vararam setup but it's not CARB compliant. I've done the annoying parts swap before a smog test and it gets old. What have you California guys used on your C7?

For those using Vararam have you ever swapped back to stock for a smog test? Since I haven't installed an aftermarket CAI I don't know how easily than can be removed and returned to stock.

Thanks

Mike

To my knowledge there isn't any. Luckily you have six years of not dealing with smog checks on a new vehicle.

That voids the engine warranty, doesn't it?
