Default eBay CAI carb legal

hey i'm looking into gettin a CAI, everyone says that the ebay ones are the best deal with a new filter. but I live in cali so emissions is an issue. do any ebay CAIs come with the stickers? is it possible to use any carb sticker or will that not work. i guess i could just keep my stock intake for when i need to get it smogged every couple years?

Your problem isnt really SMOG. But the PIGS. You can get cited for a intake with no CARB sticker. Get a Autotechnic one. Cheaper than AEM(pricing wise) and carb legal. I can get you one for about 75 bux.

you could use any CARB sticker but if they check the serial number it will be different. Get an AEM or K&N one they also flow way better too

Thats why I made a fake one.

Intercooler piping: $Free.99
AEM Dry flow: $50
CARB legal sticker: $10
AEM sticker: $0
Gunmetal Krylon: $3
Having a fake CARB legal intake, Priceless.

Or get a GSR intake and an aftermarket air filter, or aftermarket air filter period and put it in your OEM air box.
