Performance Testing
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.
•
Air Box End Cap Testing
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.
Warning!
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.
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 but the product has been submitted. 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.
