Injen Intake illegal?????

I think I read on another site that the injen CAI is illegal in California, is this true?
Also has anyone had problems with the CAI sucking up water and is there something I can do about it?
Last question, what does the intake sound like, deep throaty V-8, or something else?

I've never had a problem with my Injen sucking up water, unless you are stupid and drive through a foot deep puddle (actually it'd probably need to be even deeper), its not an issue. I don't think it's illegal in cali, but then again I don't live there so.. it is CARB approved, and I believe that is good all over the US.

Water...no problem. Sounds nice, not too loud but not to weak.

If it is CARB approved, then you have no problem.

If you dont have paper stating its Legal then its illeagle, Cops in CALI are the biggest @ holes of all, They will impound your car if they even think you were racing, They check under your hood and everything, Theres a video about Cali racing out there somewere, I dont remember what its called though

The sound is great. Nice and throaty, and not too loud.
At WOT, it will turn some heads, but it only makes the noise when you want it to.

yeah, i've seen that, but i thought there was some BS going on where cops had spec sheets on common ricers (civics, eclipses, accords, etc.) and if they had reason to they would pull people over and compare their cars to spec. Enough tickets, Bam! car gets towed.

Yea, before CARB doesn't approved the certificate for Injen, but now they do. So, It is not illegal to use Injen intake in CA no more. You can get the certificate by sending a fax to Injen. Try to see it at the first page when you log in to see the INjen webpage. You will find it easily.

I live in Bakersfield California where that segment was filmed. Yes the cops out here are major *******s to anyone with mods. If your car looks sweet, they WILL make you pop the hood and if you have ANYTHING illegal, you are getting towed. By the way, that show didnt really capture the Bakersfield Street Racing scene. If you want to have a look at what really goes on out here, check out www.bakersfieldstreetracing.com
