Stock Air Intake Pics?

I need to find a stock air intake to pass CA Smog testing. I tossed mine when I installed a CAI (dumb), and have found the air filter box and everything forward off a 92-94. I think it's the same as my 91SE, but I remember the rest of the intake being different. Everyone shows pics of their CAIs, but I can't find a pic of the stock 91SE intake. Can anyone provide? Thanks for the help.

Not a new law. I'm told by the racing guys here that it will be an automatic visual failure to have a modded intake. The hiflo cat you can prolly get away with since they don't crawl under the car, but I think you got lucky with the HKS intake. Our guys here who rebuild our engines say that those smog guys have seen everything and wouldn't pass it, maybe you got a guy who's new at the game.

It's the law, ANYTHING that is not STOCK on your engine Is ILLIGAL if it effects smog output. UNLESS..... You have a C.A.R.B. # stamped on the part or a sticker. Go to www.dmv.ca.gov and research it.
Us californians have it BAD when it comes to modding our cars.

I found the site. It took a while. Man, they should give us a break since we don't drive Hummers or Italian sport cars. My emissions are is far from the maximum allowed emissions.

Thanks for the education

Mine looks the other way too, Only on my Ford Focus tho, I have a race header and intake, cams, cam gears, chip... ect, as long as the check engine light doens't come on, I PASS, The chip takes care of the EGR not being hooked up
