wait, so your carb sticker says accord on it and they won't pass you? I'd go somewhere else

irresponsiblekid

ill get a pic of the sticker i dunno wtf it says. dude said he called CARB and they told him it's only for an f22b1 or f22b2 in an accord chassis

irresponsiblekid

this says AEM in a 94-97 accord is legal doesn't mention CL though, and it does say f22b1 f22b2 my POS swapped block is an f22b

So, If you were to buy an e-bay intake and get a K&N filter...how do you get a CARB sticker?

mine passed with a eBay intake... that shit dont come with a carb sticker.

intakes are intakes... shit is almost all the same

kraftey

This is a joke, right? What kind of bullshit is that? The whole idea behind making these modifications illegal is that it may increase pollution. Don't they have the machines that actually check the quality of air coming out of the exhaust at the emission stations?

irresponsiblekid

I'll post the numbers up I remember thinking WOW they were low.

Went to smog stop on Harding and tailpipes on Vernon, both in Roseville. I'll pm you now...

Palayah8ta

Hey Joji,

What's the procedure for getting a similar car approved? I'm on a CL
board with thousands of members, can we get a certain number of
requests for the CL to be tested or how does that work?

sorry for noobquesttion...which aem V2 intake will fit my 97 cl

switchfootvz

iTrader: (6)

noob guide! check it out! anyway it's the accord 94-97!

khmerpride

LoL, just take your car to a different shop. I've never gotten questioned when I told people that the car uses the same engine as an accord. Whoever told you was probably just being a jackass to you and trying to make money.

magi302

sorry, won't happen again, I'm new to forum boards. The only other forum I had participated in was 3geez...great site!

on1wheel01

yes check the noob guide. But hell anything can be made to fit. Im actually using the cold air portion(the one that goes to the ground off a 97 2.2 accord for my 3.0 cl fits perfect.
