just saw in a recent magazine ad by skunk2, that all b-series manifolds are CARB EXEMPT. Finally. anyone here a skunk2 dealer that can get me a CARB EO number?

Wow, I never knew they were trying for CARB exemption. Very nice, those guys (skunk2) are smart.

 

any info on the web about this?
if so can you post a link
thanks

 

SWEET!! I just got mine a month ago so I need to get me an EO #. Does anyone know how to go about getting this? I have mt recipt so thats not a problem.

 

Contact Skunk2.

 

Yo, how do you like the Skunk intake manifold. I thinking of getting one. Where do you see the power increase!

 

its about time!!! I called them in the summer of 02 and they said it would be ready in a couple of weeks.

 

or is there a big increase

 

i just spoke with Skunk2, Group A, on the phone and they informed me that their intake maifolds have passed all the necessary tests for the Carb Exemption but they have yet to recieve the papers back from the government agency responsible for the Carb O.E numbers. I was told that they are expecting the Carb exemption papers anyday. I did also find that the Stage 1 vtec cams are now exempt and come with the Carb number. heres the link for the cams. you will have to call them for the numberif you already have the cams.

Power increase is up top. lose a little of low end but it is an exchange well worth it.

Header and cam upgrade would compliment it nicely.

 

Super, I will give them a call in two weeks because no one in the import industry ever does anything on time.

 

the manifold works wonders on gsrs. gets rid of the secondary butterflies and replaces the manifold with one big plenum and short runners. same design as the ITR manifold, and NOW theres a CARB EO... best of both worlds. i wonder if everyone that has one will get a sticker or placard... whatever. i sure as hell dont have my original receipt. oops... oh well.

I didn't notice a loss of bottom end power. The midrange was improved, and the top end was night and day difference.

 

Yeah, I LOVE my mani, I have 2000 ITR cams and the difference was insane, the car pulls in every gear, and at around 5700 rpm the lobes really start workin and it pulls mad hard.

 

Yeah, I called them trying to get the number for you guys but like the guy above said, they don't have it yet. Wasted .50 cents calling long distance for you guys.....hope your happy!

 

nationwide free long distance from sprint ownz me

but its good to know about the manifold,..to bad i dont have mine no more,..but ill be getting another one soon

 

ok i just got an email back from them today and they have the stickers. In order to recieve your sticker you must provide proof of purchase or a reciept and they will send it to you. Ill be sending for mine tomorrow.

HTH

 

anyway to get it without the proof of purchase?
i got mine with my swap and im sure alot of people have bought their's used

 

just wondering if anyone got theirs yet?

krazy

 

i just sent off for mine today i sent it ups next day. I asked them to call me when they got it so ill let you know when i get it.

Here is the link to the Bar associations webpage regarding Group-A autosprts Skunk2 intake manifolds. Enjoy!!

edit: the first link i provided doesnt seem to work so use this one and just search for intake manifold, by mnaufacturer and then look for group a autosports and look for the EO number that applies. HTH

i know this is back from the dead but has anyone gotten their CARB number for their skunk2 intake mani???

 

An E.O. for a intake manifold?!?!

It seems like a waste of time, since an intake manifold is smog legal as long as it accepts all the facotry emmisions equipment. The only reason they would need to get their certified is if their manifold does accept all the factory smog stuff.

nope.

 

to anyone who has looked at a stock gsr motor for any amount of time it is obvious that the skunk2 is totally different....

like the smog ref i went to the first thing they looked at was the intake mani...
