C A I ? all the same?
I'm thinking about a C A I and tune. I realize there are many choices and combinations, Steeda, BBK, K&W, AIRAID,....etc. Are any of these smog legal in Kalifornia? If not, I believe they are easy to swap back to stock, if need be, correct? Which is best? Thank you for your suggestions.

IMO it falls between Steeda and Airad.
Steeda has some Bling to it and Airad has the plastic or CF look. As for preformance. Both have the insert so you dont have to run a tune if you dont want to. Which should be smog legal...Correct?
This way all you have to do is return car to stock tune and put the insert in.

It isn't just at inspection time either. I hear they like to do roadside emissions checks. I don't live there, so I can't attest to the frequency or validity of what I read.

Hello,
We agree ... the Steeda one is the way to go ... but unfortunately, we are working towards certification in California:
Although, not a CAI, the K&N drop in filter is an option.
Best Regards,
TJ

Thank you for your input guys. Speaking of roadside smog checks, we had one this week. They just pull aside a few random cars, usually beaters. So, is there any tune and cai combination that is smog legal in Cali? I will do more research, but I would like to hear from some Cali people on this. Thanks again.

Actually, I was pretty set on getting the track cal tune. Just recently, I've been leaning towards an SCT type of tune with a little more HP. I just wanna free up the air and motor a bit, for a track day every once in awhile. Like everyone else, I guess.
