Hey anyone and everyone, I have my registration renewal in the state of California coming up, and I was wondering if anyone with an AEM cold-air intake can help me out, since the renewal requires a smog certification.

Now supposedly, AEM has CARB exemption or CARB EO (pending approval) status on the cold-air intakes it sells. I bought my Brute Force intake (AEM's line of cold-air intakes for SUVs) for my KJ around when they were first available in 2003 or so. Unfortunately, there is no CARB sticker or CARB EO sticker on or near any of my intake parts or piping.

So, I was wondering if any of you with an AEM intake can help me out by taking measurements of your CARB sticker on your intake. I just need the basic length and width. Also, what is the CARB number on your parts.

I'm going to make a duplicate sticker since AEM customer service isn't being very helpful in my case.

I do have the OEM airbox, but its buried in the attic behind a whole ton of crap. And I don't feel like digging it out. I'll probably just pay the smog technician to pretend that he didn't see the intake, but if the test isn't adding up, at least I'll have "certification" to back up my installation.


Any other suggestions or ideas welcome. I gotta turn in my registration by the 22nd.

Thanks guys.
