Smog legal intakes?

Where I come from we dont say no to cops. If you say no dont open my hood, he's gonna call his supervisor, etc. and get the damn warrant if he has to.

IMO Unless a cop KNOWS Mustangs (in which case he'd probably let you off anyway) he's not gonna notice an aftermarket x pipe with cats, an aftermarket plenum, etc. He will notice the open element air filter, or that the car has no cats. I'm trying to cover the bases on the crap I know they look for.

Why is one approved and the other isnt? Simple. Getting your parts CARB approved is expensive, and some manufacturers just arent willing to pay to get it done.

Since when did the CHP start enforcing emission laws? The last time I was out there they were too busy with DUI and carpool lanes...

the mac fenderwall intake has a carb# if you want a fenderwall one.[/QUOT

If the Mack one is CARB approved, what about the BBK? It's pretty much the exact same set up. If so, where is the CARB sticker deal. If it's not I still have my stocker.

uhh.. the mac one comes with a carb sticker. each company has to get their product carb approved, even if they're basically the same.

also, my car passed smog fine with my magnaflow catted x pipe and the intake. supposedly it runs rich, but i had no problems.
you just need someone to pass the visual.
