FMIC Question

I see the Ultimate FMIC thread's 32 pages now and going up.....brought this to mind:

Which FMIC has CARB [California Air Resources Board] approval?

Can't pass smog w/o that.

Intercooler can mess with your smog test??? Is it for the actual test or just the visual test?

Never knew that but I have a 7” fmic and passed smog last few years while living in Cali.

Nothing lacking CARB approval is allowed. FMIC's not something a mech would see right away but, say, a charge pipe w/Tial blowoff valve would stand out....

But if a non-compliant FMIC's noted, California law says it's gotta be failed. Snap!
