I dont think an intake will fail a smog test... as long as it is carb approved. Even if not I still dont see ahy it would fail.

How do you figure the O2 is burnt? Autozone will read the code for free, the code helps a whole lot when you got check engine.

Yeah, pull that code and tell us what it is.

I dont' think the stock intake will fit the Ex manifold. What kind of intake it on there now? You could just go and get a Carb approved filter and they might let it slide if it passes the sniffer. Sac and LEVIII would know more about this.
