I was sent to the Ref, I need your help to pass?
Alright, I was sent to a Ref for my cold air intake that i bought from ebay. But I decided to get a aem intake w/ a carb sticker to see the Ref.
When I got there, I failed because of a PCV hose. The Ref told me the hose did not say emissions on it. I have been everywhere, pep boys, autozone, and kragen. They have no idea what I'm talking about. I need a 1/2 pcv hose that says emissions on it. Can you guys help me out. I live in orange county.

well i talked to my bro and he thinks the ref is being a dick and giving you the run around because he still has his stock cx hose and it doesn't mention anything about emissions on it
here are some pictures, sorry for the crappy quality though:
hopefully i'll never get sent to the ref

ur breather hose is missing. that is a big no no to them, and they will fail u for visual.
as for the other hose, call aem and get paper work. its hoops that they are making u jump through.

i know the breather hose is not hooked up, we took out the breather hose for the sake of taking pictures, my bro's car would fail for just being plain ugly
...90% of the peeps on honda-tech would probably fail the visual inspection anyways

that sucks cuz that hose looks oem, mine looks the same and is oem and it doesnt say emmissions on it, well to solve your problem just ask for fuel hose at autozone and it says "fuel/emissions" on it.
how did they feel about your fuel rail and other mods?

when you went to the ref, did you just have to pass the visual inspection and that would be it, or do you actually have to run your car for an emission test? im just wondering because the same thing happened to me for my injen intake, even though it was 50 state street legal, because my carb sticker was not legible, i was still cited..

well i'm going tomorrow to the ref. I think I'm gonna go to another ref. They put the car on the dyno and my car did pass smog. But because of the pcv hose, they failed me. I'm so pissed, that one little hose!! I'll update. Oh yea, it's my ex-girlfriend's car.
