If there was an intake that passed smog (like AEM) and an intake that doesn't pass smog because it sucked in too much air, shit, i'd buy the one that didn't pass smog!
too bad it doesn't exist. generics are usually nearly as good as the name brands in performance. quality-wise is questionable due to workmanship.
I'm still waiting on the V2 for the AV6. argh. cant wait...
