i recently installed an AEM v2 on my civic
which i might add was the biggest pain the *** ever!
but its amazing sounds nice and a noticable gain

however it came with no carb sticker and when i called AEM they said all their products are CARB exempt and i dont need any documentation its just commen knowledge to smog places and everything

is this true?

 

No, the smog tech will look for a C.A.R.B. sticker. Call AEM again and ask for a different person. I can understand why they may be reluctant to send out a CARB sticker to any one who calls. People try to get those stickers to put on non-legal intakes, all the time.
By the way - good choice of intake and exhaust!

 

thanks
