Default Passing godforsaken smog!!!

I have a generic intake on my '94 Accord. It is up for smog at the end of March. What can I do besides bribe the **** out of the guy at the shop? I dont have my stock intake.

Thanks

unfortunately, your best bet is to either get a stock intake, and put it in, or buy a carb legal intake. as for a carb sticker, i dont think you'll be able to find one, unless you rip one off and copy it. but if they check the EO #'s, and it doesn't match to your intake, your prolly fucked.

dude, seriously, my car passed smog with a generic intake, shouldn't really affect it THAT much but it does affect it. I passed smog so i'm assuming you can too. But just to be on the safe side.... maybe you have a friend with an AEM intake and just swap for like a day, those are street legal for some reasons i'm assuming

CARB = CALIFORNIA air resource board. you CAN FAIL visual inspection with a non-carb approved intake. some places wont care, but most do now. the intake itself will not cause u to fail a tailpipe test. i had a AEM CAI (carb approved), GReddy SS header (carb approved) and GReddy SP (doent need any approval since its after the cat) on my 96 ex coupe. i passed the test only dyno with flying colors with 90kmi on the clock
