Eventuri Carbon Intake

[old///MFanatic]

The eventuri intake is basically the best MAFed intake. I read it makes a cool noise. The power numbers seem to be above 0

Yeah it’s probably a close second after the original GruppeM intake in the MAF’ed category.

Have any of you Cali guys looked into going the Montana LLC registration route? I think that's still a thing.

What's difficult about getting CA pass with a CSL Airbox? If its only smog then install better cats, such as HJS 200 cell. That's how I pass in Europe with better than stock results, even with Alpha n tune.

They fear the box will fail visual inspection. I don't know what the big deal is myself then again I don't have all my parts on the car yet.

Smog has gotten easier in CA because they no longer measure emissions at the tailpipe on a dyno for post 2000 MY cars. Now they just the give engine a quick visual and then connect via obd port to check monitors and make sure no SES light, that's it. It's a 5-7 minute inspection vs 15-20 mins on a dyno before. I think they are assuming they will automatically fail because of the enormous airbox and aperture with BMW M Power all over it haha.

Hm, print a sticker with the BMW logo and a CSL Airbox part number on it? 🤔

The last time I went to get a smog check I only had a silicon intake boot and it immediately failed inspection because the guy said it increases emissions… so by that alone you can guess why the CSL air box would be a huge no. It’s all visual inspection mostly, they just want to make sure everything is as original as it came from the factory and any engine modification that doesn’t have a CARB legal sticker will fail regardless if you are catted.

Wow thats ridiculous. They should at least test it with a sensor in the tailpipe if they are not sure, but auto-failing people is just plain stupid...

Exactly, not a chance that air box passes Visual. They have a check list too of things they have to looked at. They also have a book with photos of CARB exempt/approved parts like Dinan. So even if you put some fake CARB Exempt sticker with number on it they can look it up. You do Not want to have your car flagged to a Referee Inspector.
