Are any of the typical CAI kits available out there carb legal? I know the JLT kit says in big letters its not, what about the air raid or Steeda? I don't think I'm due for a smog for a while but about the time I'm going to be able to afford a kit and tune. Meh... Figures.

 

Nope, none are CARB legal because they do away with the oem hydrocarbon trap.

 

Fahck. Well, I guess I keep the factory stuff and just swap it back and throw the stock tune back in it when it's time for smog...

 

That or move back to the United States...

 

I can't speak for the 5.0, but the 08/09 Bullitts were 50 state legal and they used the FRPP CAI from the factory on the 4.6. You might check Ford Racing.

 

You shouldn't need a check until 2017. Just swap it back when the time comes. That's what I'll be doing in 2019....

 

Try going to arb.org or Google air research board and on their website you can look up carb legal anything for your car

 

If i remember correctly i asked a rep a while ago about this, he said BBK was in a testing phase to get certification for there CAI. So dont think theres one out now but maybe soon?
