Failed Smog, Intake hose fault Options

[nics]

Hi everyone, I just did a smog test for the my registration renewal. I passed all the emissions stuff expect but failed the comprehensive visual inspection due to a craked air intake hose which was just taped together.

Should I just buy a replacement for the hose from the yard or just install a aftermarket filter?
Should I go for Injen or Weapon R or which other brands would you guys recommend?

Thanks

unless the aftermarket intake is carb legal, your gonna fail smog again anyways. im not sure if the weapon R is but i know the injen one has the carb sticker iirc.

i failed the visual smog a few months ago becuase i had an HKS SRI. lame way to waste 30 bucks.

hmmm... just checked out the weapon r site and verified their EO# vs the one in CARB site.
E0# D 489-1 is CARB legal.

Its also cheaper than Injen's but I wonder how they differ in performance.

the injen is pretty dam expensive. for something as minor as a SRI i dont think you should spend that much.

unless you got money to burn, i'd go with the weapon R. or you can always go with the CAI mod.

Yeah. My cousin had installed the Injen intake for his car. Its really expensive and i dont have the budget right now Weapon R is my second option.

Damn it must suck to live in Cali In Houston our emissions testing is every bit as strict but you won't fail visual over a mod [Except EGR delete obviously]

Hell yeah, It felt i was ripped off for smog yesterday! burned $50 for nothing s***!
Excuse my words but it was a whole BS to fail smog due to the visual inspection.
