I have a really restrictive air intake on my 04 V6 sonata and I want to fabricate my own air intake ans when I was buying the parts for it, the guy at the register said it wouldn‘t be carb legal, even though I was going to use a K N filter, is that true?
i get tired early. but when eleven comes around i get hyper and goofy. all of my friends like to see me around then lol and then i have to force myself to go to sleep cuz i know i need it haha
if you tamper with the emission system yes that will be true.
I'm not from CARB land, but, from what I hear, there's not much you can mess with. Maybe put the factory intake back on for your CARB visits ??
As long as you do not alter or remove any emissions sensors that my be part of the intake you should be just fine. Intake tracts are usually designed to mute or muffle intake noises and as such can be very restrictive. If you can find these choke points and remove them or modify them then you can make some improvements in the stock system. Usually most stock intakes already draw air from outside the engine bay so all you really need to do is clean up the choke points. Now the C.A.R.B. may have some tough restrictions so you need to find out for yourself what they are .don't rely on someone else to tell you something that may not be true .do your homework and some research and find out.
