Whats the deal about INTAKES?
From HTA usefull notes:
My friend just got a ticket for his intake.
Officer said its not emmisions legal and that it puts pollutents in the air....
WTF is the deal with this...>?
Is it legal or not?
Then why are the cops still handing out tickets of this?
Intakes - Are LEGAL. The Environmental Protection Act states that you are ALLOWED to replace systems of devices (such as an intake) so long as it complies with the regulations in the Act. So long as your intake is attached and working properly, you are FINE!

As long as your not using a breather filter and have the hose attached from the valve cover to the intake tube then your fine! Their are alot of police officer's that give you tickets for having a K&N style filter, basicly because they can. But it's legal! If you go to court, you WILL win! They give them because they either don't know better or they just enjoy giving enthusiest a hard time.

isnt the cop also required to have an inspection certificate/warrant for this??
only an attested officer can give out such charges, and they should know better between a breather, and an intake

1sicsol : did your friend get pulled over for just an intake? was his car heavily modded? Excessive sppeding? If he was pulled over for one of these and then the officer saw the intake he would probably give him a ticket because cops are big dumbasses.
I thought the breather was illegal but he had to pull you over for something in order for him to want to pop the hood.
