Hello everyone, I hope all is well. I'm in a bind. My truck is a 2004 F-150 and I installed a True Flow Cold Air Intake 4-5 years ago. I went to smog the truck for the first time (7 years old in CA) and they wouldn't even consider trying to smog it because there is no sticker my my true flow intake. I know is was/is CA legal, but I must not of put the sticker on the truck. It's my understanding true flow is no longer in business. Here's the kicker... I cleaned my garage 2-3 months ago and I threw away the original ford intake. I cannot get the truck smogged unless I either come up with a sticker or try and find a factory intake to throw on there. Any suggestions? freakin California!!

Worst part is the CHP gave me a ticket for expired tags. We paid the registration, but didn't realize the truck needed smogged. No smog... no 2011 stickers!!

FYI- If you search richgonfishn... that is me. You will see my green F150. The richgonfishn email is no longer in service and I cannot remember the password.

 

damn man, I was gnna say if you were in the LA area i could tell you tons of places that would smog you NO problem......

but your in the sac town, Im sorry....

You gotta just try a bunch of smog check places and offfer to pay them off extra to look the other way....What a burn, California is so damn strict I hate it.... but where else are you gonna see snow and ocean in the same day hahaha... GOOD LUCK

 

Go find a factory intake in a junkyard. Then leave it on there and do a Gotts/DWV mod to it.

 

Yea thats a good option, and then you can sell your intake

 

I think all you need to do is to go to a different smogger. Here in the Bay Area, every other gas station has a smog center.
