Can anyone tell me if this intake has a CARB cert number?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If it's not the stock parts are pretty cheap & easy to throw back on. Jon @ Fabspeed is on here though so you might just send him a direct message? He's helped me in the past.

Thanks. I have the stock airbox. The smog guy let me slide but said next time I'd need the stock one as he couldn't find a number on it. I PM'd Jon.

If it doesn't have a CARB sticker on it then the answer is "no". I doubt Fabspeed wants to go through the certification process.
POST 5Original post
Its possible that it was CARB certified after it was put in your car. I would email Fabspeed and ask them. I did that with another CAI from another manufacturer and they were happy to mail me a sticker. Somewhere online there is a current list of all the CARB certified CAIs. Dont ask me where.

Hey guys, sorry was away at the Rolex 24hr...hell of a race by the way hope you watched it! CARB certification is a NIGHTMARE, it is not something we have on our products and likely never will i'm sorry to say. Lucky for us, the intake and exhaust on Porsches are typically a breeze to switch out every 2 years. Don't even have to worry about it for 5 years if the car is new.

In CA, the fines for cheating on smog range from $150-$1,000 for the car owner and $5,000 to $250,000 for a business owner, PLUS the treat of getting punted into the state's smog referee program. If I were a third-party equipment manufacturer, I would reconsider posting advice in an open forum re: how to circumvent CARB requirements and/or how to temporarily configure a non-conforming vehicle to pass inspection. Disclaimer: I f*****g hate CARB and the CA environazis who cook up and enforce this crap - but I would hate to see a fellow RLer or a provider of aftermarket parts (since the aftermarket for the 996 isn't as deep as it is for many other cars) get boned by the bastards.

In California? Fat chance. The smog-exempt window was supposed to change, so cars over XX years old would be smog-exempt. That got scuttled, so the only emissions-exempt on-road vehicles are model year 1975 and older, with the 5-year new-car exemption John mentioned above. Even that exemption can be waived if CA decides your car is a commercial vehicle. My friend and I both bought identical diesel X5's; they classified mine as a passenger vehicle with the 5-year exemption and his as a commercial vehicle.
