As the title says, I failed smog visual inspection due to presence of itg CAI. I need a stock airbox to swap in and out before and after smog test. Who can help a brotha out for some Beer?, Scotch?, Tequila? or even some cash. oh I am in Santa Clara.

I have one, im in Fairfield/vacaville area, probably pretty far but lmk if you need it. ill post up a pic in a second.

Thats what i got...Notice you'll need something to hold it in place because i have retained my cruise control and used the bolts that hold the airbox to keep the cc in place. Im sure you could rig it somehow, lmk.

I have one off of my 328, and I think its the same box. I'll be around saturday afternoon if you want to swing by to take a look at it.

I'm interested to know this shop too. wondering if he'd pass a car with not CARB approved headers...

You all need to make friends with a tuner shop, ask them if they can get you smogged. Most bypass the visual, you still have to pass the actual test but mods don't hurt that.....

I went as far as buying a Euro Box (cause I run the larger 3.5" MAF) and expected to swap it in....my shop said "let us handle it". :D So the box sits unused in my garage....
