just because they have smog certification doesnt mean its the only one that will pass, interesting question though, i have no smog testing where i live in NY so Ive never had to deal with it, but maybe people who had their cars smogged can tell u there experiences

My DC Sports intake is CARB exempt, and with my intake, exhaust, re-mapped ecu, and hi-flow cat, I still pass emissions by a LONG shot.

There are plenty of intakes with a CARB EO#.
best bet is to call the companies themselves and ask if they're carb approved for your particular application.

I was going to suggest Injen because I know they make intakes for both 4 and 6cylinder accords... except I don't understand what they mean by:
--
Why didn't my Injen Intake come with a C.A.R.B. sticker?
Injen Technology applies for C.A.R.B. certification. Due to the way the process works, we are not able to determine how long it takes to
obtain approval. The intake systems that do not come with a C.A.R.B. sticker are usually pending.

I've heard lots of "big" numbers with Injen... Personally, I've always used AEM CAI for both my Civic and Accord.

The best way to pass any inspection is to use a $20 bill.

cop just love to be right all the time.
it's ******* stupid but they still harass your *** for the heck of it.

my friend got pull over with a injen, no ticket that time, anyone have a
different view?

my 13years old legend passed smog check with a home made intake.

he didn't get pulled over just because of the injen, right? i know in ohio, you can't just randomly be pulled over..there must be "just" cause. an intake doesn't sound like a legitimite reason imho... that sucks
