Okay well back in 2009 I got stuck at a DUI checkpoint on my way home from work in Perris, California. Well the cop made me pop my hood due to the fact I had blue l.e.d.'s on my projector headlights and he gave me a ticket for illegal intake. I had to get my car inspected by a state ref. and get my ticket signed off. Well I just sold my stock intake so now i dont have a backup incase that ever happened again so I contacted Injen and requested a carb sticker because it is available for my particular intake system.

So my question is, does the sticker go on the actually intake, somewhere under the hood. Or does it even matter?

 

pretty sure it doesnt matter. as long as you can see it when the hood is open

 

illegal intake?

 

Don't put it on the intake. I had mine there and it fell off. I would say put it on the car itself. Make sure to clean with alcohol or something like it first or it will fall off.

 

damn, i am never driving my car cross country. if i got stopped, police would need an extra ticket book for me. lol

 

you cannot be cited for state specific violations if you are from out of state.

 

Youre safe if youre from out of state. Cali ******* sucks for emissions junk.

 

x2 on all sorts of junk i've seen 'legal in all states except california' i'm like good thing i don't live there or my ass would be impounded for sure lol

 

Oh okay I might just put it on the plastic shroud next the manufacturer stickers

 

It was illegal, injen did not have an oe carb # available at the time it first came out but I guess it's cleared for California emissions now.

 

When I got my GMS1 installed, they put it on the forward left underside of the hood.

 

still dont understand how an Intake is illegal
crazy California

 

bc its a mod that could affect emissions. the idea of a cold air intake is to get more and colder air which will result in more fuel in most situations which could mean more emissions coming out the tail pipe. likely not to make much of a diff but cali is emissions *****

 

Do you mind posting a photo of it?

 

i had put all my other stickers on the black part the mounts to the upper core support. its part of the grille assy. they never came loose

 

After work today.

 

Ok, here you go:

 

Thanks!
