• After your installation is complete 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.
Performance Testing
Air Box Plug Testing
Stock intake 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
heatwave.
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.
Warning!
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. 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 E.O. 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.
