Hi everyone, I just did a smog test for the my registration renewal. I passed all the emissions stuff expect but failed the comprehensive visual inspection due to a craked air intake hose which was just taped together. kindasad.gif

Should I just buy a replacement for the hose from the yard or just install a aftermarket filter?
Should I go for Injen or Weapon R or which other brands would you guys recommend?

Thanks

unless the aftermarket intake is carb legal, your gonna fail smog again anyways. im not sure if the weapon R is but i know the injen one has the carb sticker iirc.

i failed the visual smog a few months ago becuase i had an HKS SRI. lame way to waste 30 bucks.

hmmm... just checked out the weapon r site and verified their EO# vs the one in CARB site.
E0# D 489-1 is CARB legal.

Its also cheaper than Injen's but I wonder how they differ in performance.

the injen is pretty dam expensive. for something as minor as a SRI i dont think you should spend that much.

unless you got money to burn, i'd go with the weapon R. or you can always go with the CAI mod.
