Default Smog legal Cold Air Intake in CA?

Any recommendations as to which CAI I should buy? I live in California and I want it smog legal.

Probably the only kind you'd have to worry about would be one you might build yourself.

C&L, JLT, BBK, Steeda, Demolet (Tunable Inductions) are all good choices.

Don't think any of the CAIs are technically smog legal.

I installed a AEM Brute Force cold air intake and it's smog legal in CA. Also, it doesn't require a tune.

I know that the K&N is a safe bet. And i would be lead to believe that the FRPP Bullitt intake would be smog legal as well.

Airraid comes with a sticker that goes in the MAF housing that has all the stuff that makes it emissions legal or whatever in CA.

You have to drill down to the K&N intake for you car to see if the are CARB exempt (comes with CARB sticker)- the Typhoon metal tube one is, the other black tube one (less restrictive more common one) is not....Not sure if you'd have a problem in CA. They don't really care visually in NYC as long as it passes on the computer.
