View Full Version : What brands of legal intakes and exhausts?
Vince2133 10-05-2008, 03:33 PM Well I had my tunes planned out but turned out some were not legal
ie weapon-r
So for CAI I am looking at the AEM ones because I hear problems with the Fujita and K/N doesn't interest me *CARB Number*
I dont like TRD exhaust so I need another legal alternative
help please guys
tcCALI 10-05-2008, 04:10 PM there isnt a carb legal CAI for the tC, and if you dont wanna get pulled over for exhaust i say go borla or magnaflow.
Vince2133 10-05-2008, 05:06 PM Aren't the AEM ones carb and legal?
SquallLHeart 10-05-2008, 05:18 PM nope.
K&N makes an airbox replacement version though that's approved.. but that's really it.
ucsdtc 10-05-2008, 05:21 PM nope. Only K&N makes a legal intake for our cars http://www.hopupracing.com/knsctccalety.html
As for legal exhausts, you should be fine with any axle-back system out there since they don't mess with the cats.
ucsdtc 10-05-2008, 05:22 PM nope.
K&N makes an airbox replacement version though that's approved.. but that's really it.
ahh, beat me too it.
SquallLHeart 10-05-2008, 05:33 PM ^^ :P sorrrrrry.. lol.
athlete3232 10-05-2008, 05:42 PM which is better. fujita or injen?
Vince2133 10-05-2008, 05:51 PM ahhhh damn thats pretty wack then lol
well im sure trd are legal right? but f those...
SquallLHeart 10-05-2008, 05:54 PM nope.. the TRD CAI is not CARB legal.
Vince2133 10-05-2008, 05:59 PM really lol well my concern is just if I get pulled over, I dont want ticket for "illegal" parts but I want the performance..
tcCALI 10-05-2008, 06:02 PM ^ they usually dont make you pop your hood, you will get your ticket for what every you were doing WRONG and be on your way..... as for exhaust you might get a ticket for it being loud..
Vince2133 10-05-2008, 06:05 PM well I dont think the HKS hi powers are that loud
I wanted the HKS hi power and injen/weapon r intake
tcCALI 10-05-2008, 06:06 PM ^ that will be a nice set-up, just dont do anything illegal and you should be fine.....
nope.. the TRD CAI is not CARB legal.
Funny story bout that...
I guess a few weeks ago dealers across the country got Cease and desists letters about the Intakes, because they are not yet CARB legal...I guess they are working on it though...

Actually I was driving in Saratoga and got busted by Santa Clara Sheriff for no front license plate. He then wrote me up for my TYC's being painted and had me pop the hood.
SquallLHeart 10-05-2008, 06:29 PM ^^ you're in california.. if they have any suspicion.. most likely they'll ask to pop it.
though technically they supposedly. legally need a warrant... something about saying no.. apparently really lead them to "probable cause"?
i forget... it's stupid stuff..
