what makes it legal?
i have reading a lot, and one goal is to make ones car as street legal as possible.
when it come to intakes, i dont understand what makes one legal and one not. the only difference i see is about $100. Arent all intakes pretty much the same? arent they are a pipe with a filter in the end. can anyone explain?

Being tested and approved by a government office makes them legal.

Re: what makes it legal? (EJcharlie)
Applying and getting CARB legal status costs a lot of time and money. You don't just fill out forms and pay a fee. You have to have an actual test vehicle undergo extensive testing. Not like the smog check you get at the corner smog shop.
Besides being smog legal, a vehicle has to pass a safety test to be considered street legal. Many people's idea of a "slammed suspension" wouldn't pass. California really doesn't give a rats *** about the safety test except when you bring in a non-CA vehicle and try to register it here.
