If you don't have the stickers then take a look at the California Air Resources Board website for CARB certified modifications.

Comptech Icebox intake: Executive Order D-455-27

DC Sports Header: Executive Order D-370-12

Print out the two files and show them to the judge.
...and, keep the printouts in your glove box in case you get pulled over and questioned in the future.


edit: looks like I can't hotlink to the pdf files directly. Go to the ARB Database here: http://www.arb.ca.gov/html/databases.htm
Click on the second link "Aftermarket Performance and Add On Parts Information" and then do a search on the executive order numbers I provided above.

Did the cop really go looking for your headers? Its one thing to pop the hood of a previous generation Honda/Acura with the header out front, another to go looking for the K-series header.

I have heard that SoCal cops are being taught what to look or hear for nowadays.

Looking at your list of mods (in your sig) the cop probably had a good idea about the header. CF hood & trunk, aftermarket rims, dropped... etc., that's like giving them a written invitation for a better look...IMHO.

Good links Jlukja. I don't think the Injen is CARB legal. The DC header and Comptech Icebox definitely are though.

The Injen RD is CARB legal, but they haven't got the SP on their website.

You won't find a CARB etching on the intake. The intake is sold everywhere...CARB is a cali thing. If your intake is CARB approved, it should come with a sticker. You can then put the sticker on the intake. My accord's intake had the sticker on it until it was stolen. The body shop replaced it with a generic intake that isn't carb approved. At least it passes smog tests...

Print out the CARB certification for the DC headers and write to Injen to get them to confirm that the SP CAI intake is CARB legal. Challenge the fine and give them copies of the proof.

That sucks.

But, everything you mentioned is citeable. Did you cop an attitude (no pun intended ) when he/she pulled you over? Were you racing, or gunning your engine? Something must have drawn attention to you. Although, with all your mods and the license plate and the tint, I'm not surprised. What % tint do you have on your front windows? Maybe he/she was having a shitty day.

Take a look at Executive Order D-476-4. I see that the Injen intake is certified but only for 2004 TSXs.
