HELP! Beg or Borrow Smog Legal Air Intake
I took my car in today to have it smogged!.. Passed the sniffer but dammit the guy failed it because of my Vararam..
Dose anyone have a stock intake I can borrow... or a slip on cold air kit that is CARB approved... or someplace that will pass me..

Everyone.. thanks.. Rickko got me one..
Mann I love this site.. thanks all
Varmitt.. not sure what "Red Flag" means but it wa son the "Official" pice of paper he gave me back..
Intresting thought.. Rickko posted this in another thread...
I wish I knew the name of the document..
This sounds allot like its a wash.. and the guy was just trying to get the extra 26 bucks from the re-test from me..
My plan is to go back on Monday.. show him the info above.. if they dont give that Ill change out the airbox right ther in the parking lot.. test then switch right back afterwards..!
Of all things to fail some on on an airbox is just SO trivial and has absolutely nothing to do with emmissions..

A few years ago I asked a CF member who did smog checks in California if he thought my Blackwing would pass. This was his response:
"Again it depends upon the technician. Some are extremely ****, and some are rather loose on air filtration systems.
The DCA/BAR's ruling on them is as Follows on Page 4 of Appendix K: Under Items of Non-Concern, Cold Air / Air filtration systems that retained ALL of the factory EVAP hoses, fittings and connections, are legal.
IIRC, since the Blackwing removes the box, but allots the Air Injection system to still have access to air (via a filter placed on to that inlet line), it should indeed be an item of non-concern, thus passing the test."
So I guess you have to armed with Page 4 of Appendix K, although I doubt these smog techs will take the time to read it and make a decision.
