Stock air boxes are a significant contributor to poor air flow which is why S&B designs custom air boxes with secondary and/or
enlarged openings. With that said, S&B recognizes the benefits of cooler air, so we have included a plug to seal off the opening if so
desired. For optimal performance, we recommend that the intake be used without the end cap except in conditions of extreme heat.
Air Box Plug Testing
The California Air Resource Board (CARB) requires that an E.O. Identification label be applied to the vehicle in order
to pass a smog check inspection when a Performance Intake Kit has been installed. You must place the E.O. Label provided on or near the intake
kit after installation so that a smog check technician can easily verify the E.O. Number. The exemption process with CARB can take as long as 18
months. Check the status of the exemption process by looking up a specific part number. The CARB Exemption number and/or status is listed under
the Product Details section for each part number. If the status shows as “Pending,” CARB has yet to issue an exemption but the product has been
submitted. Products that have not been issued an E.O. number are street legal in most states, but may not be used on emission controlled vehicles
in the state of California and are for off road use only. If you purchased your kit from S&B Filters directly, we will automatically mail you your Exemption
Sticker when it is issued to us. If you purchased your kit from an authorized S&B Filters Dealer, log onto our web site and register to receive your
Exemption Sticker.
Emissions Standard
If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Control Information decal affixed to the factory
airbox, a new replacement label must be obtained and installed in a readily visible position in the engine
compartment in order to remain CARB compliant. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle from passing
a smog check. Replacement labels can be ordered from your local dealership. Regulations state that
the VECI label shall not be affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. Label
placement, under the hood on a painted surface is recommended.
Warning!
• After your installation is complete engage parking brake and start your engine. Listen for abnormal noises. If an air leak is detected,
re-inspect hoses and connections as they may need to be repositioned and tightened.
• S&B FILTERS recommends that you keep your OE intake system in the event it is required in the future.
• In order to maintain your warranty, all connections and components must be checked periodically for alignment
and for proper tension on all connections. Failure to do so may void your warranty.
• Use only S&B FILTERS cleaning and oil products to service your filter. Using any other brand oil
and/or cleaners on your S&B air filter may void your warranty.
