I am looking for a CAI system for my 2010 Balt SS that CARB approved for California. I know that i wont need smog for awile but dont want to change it later.All the ones I see are CARB approvbed are for the SS/SC not SS/TC.

 

That sucks. Maybe just buy a SC intake, take the stickers that go on the intake out of the box, return the intake kit and put on the right one for the TC with the stickers from the SC kit. Maybe the SMOG guys won't know the difference. Haha kind of ghetto I know but its worth a shot maybe. Too bad someone on the forum isn't a chill smog guy we could go to and get some ummm "special" considerations for us.

 

k&n usually or aem is carb legal.

 

Not yet, I am sure it is in front of the Cali board now, the process takes months...

 

aem is the only one as i know so far...

 

I have my CARB sticker

 

yea yea cheater lol

 

gimme da stickurz

 

Gimme your sticker... I'll give you cash right now!

 

you gotta buy his intake cause it comes with it lol its a special intake

 

just buy the carb sticker

 

haha you cant buy it....

 

I can steal it from you haha... I'll find a way. I might have to register the balt in Oregon to get away from this smog ****.

 

Well here is my answer. I guess to be legal I have to wait... Guess I will stick to gm upgrade for now.




"There is no intake manufacture that can CARB A 2010 model vehicle yet. California Air Research Board is not accepting any 2010 vehicles yet. Injen usually has most of their intakes CARB’d way before any other intake manufacture does. I would say by the end of next year it should be CARB’d"

yup but 99% of time a carb legal intake for an 08 or 09 car will pass i had a 96-up 2.2 intake carb legal on my 94 cavalier 2.2 and passed smog every year no problem!

 

Get a K&N drop in filter. It flows better and you don't need carb stickers.

 

haha already have one!

 

you don't have the airbox mod though!

 

haha true you never helped me do it

 

From AEM website under the CAI for an 09 balt. Nothing even listed for a 2010 but sure they are the same.




"C.A.R.B. exempt or pending (see note below) for 50-state street-legal use
Notes
Emissions-related parts for new model year vehicles may be in "pending" status for C.A.R.B. exemption. Earning exemption status takes time, but will be complete before your new vehicle's first smog check."


I will just wait til they get approved. If I need work done I dont want to switch back and forth. I may change my mind though.LOL For now will do drop in K&N.

 

I was trying to say that to chevy350 but it is good advice for everyone I suppose haha.

 

Say what to me?

 

**** the intake get a k&n dropin filter and the only thing you need a carb sticker for is smog which your car is brand new and cops

 

Sounds good to me

 

you get my pm about sce?
