EMISSIONS STANDARD
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. As of April 2009, S&B has never had a product
where CARB denied an exemption request; however, 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 at www.sbfilters.com. 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. Products that have not been issued an EO 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.

your OE intake system in the event it is
required in the future.
