Re: COLD AIR INTAKE,To Ram or Not to Ram?
Hi Chief,
Just to clarify the terminology "for off road use only". It is used to legally sell these items in states that have emissions laws. The laws vary state to state so sellers just put that in as a catch all for all states. That saves them from rather expensive testing and any penalties for selling an untested/unapproved emissions device. The terminology has nothing to do with the effectiveness or ability to work on normal driving conditions. This is the official word from a California BAR representative.
Here in California anything in front of the PCV breather is fair game. Any modification can be made in front of the breather tube going to the valve cover.
I also would like to keep my cover and get better beathing. After all the engine is only a large air pump. I too will be experimenting with other solutions. Who says you have to go in front of the radiator. Think outside the box!!
Hope this helps.
