Unless it comes with a CARB approved decal for your engine bay it won't pass smog.
i was specifically talking about the shipping problem you were having to K&N. Sorry i can see how my answer was taken out of context. I can not confirm/deny if it will pass smog. I live in ontario and we don't even have to do that anymore
PRL Cobra, don't even bother with a different one. I fully recommend it. Buy it from Teknotik.com its the lowest price you'll find because you wont pay duties.
I completely agree with this post.
I will concur with this too. For anyone who complains about the price of the Cobra.....you aren't paying for the materials to make the product. You are paying for the testing and engineering that went into to developing the product. It is a quality intake that sounds amazing, fits perfectly, and has the customer service to back up any potential issue you might have. That is what your money gets.
Sadly our products are not CARB approved at this time.
Not trying to argue with your view opinion or view on intakes here, but we do challenge your numbers.

Our team of engineers and tuners have been enthusiasts since the 90's, so we know where your coming from with your doubt. We've been disappointed and mislead by countless previous platforms, so we're always skeptics. However, we really changed things up with the design and concept of our Cobra Cold Air Intake System. The Cobra design looks so goofy because it features such larger diameter tubing (~4"), which means the largest volume of air possible into the engine. We also have to take into consideration that the 10th Gen Civic 1.5T platform is a turbocharged, high compression direct injection platform, so we can throw most past experience out the window here because it's apples-to-oranges.
We too were astonished and extremely skeptical of our gains when we first dyno'd our shop EX-T CVT car, so we tested again, and again, and again. Then we backed it up with our shop's Si, and then numerous third party tests and now countless customers' backing. Hondata and IMW aren't doing anyone but the 10th Gen community a favor by testing intake systems.

Innovative Motorworks' Cobra Intake Test Results:
- 16 hp and 5 ft/lb tq gains with Street MAF in comparison to stock
- 3 hp and 5 ft/lbs tq gains with Race MAF in comparison to Street MAF or 19hp and 10 ft/lb tq gains TOTAL
PRL's Cobra Intake Test Results: https://www.civicx.com/threads/prl-...-air-intake-development-pre-order.9555/page-2
- 13 hp gains in comparison to our Stage 1 intake which already provides minor gains over stock
PRL's Cobra Intake Race MAF Test Results: https://www.civicx.com/threads/prl-motorsports-street-race-maf-housing-comparison.28371/
- 9 - 14 horsepower and torque gains throughout the entire powerband over the factory intake
Aside from our gains, you will not find another intake system on the market that provides proper fuel trims like our intake systems.
- 4-5 hp and 2 ft/lb tq gain at peak and 10hp/10tq gains throughout the midrange over-top of the Street MAF
We do not suggest a SRI, we simply made one because the community begged. Most of our SRI customers have bought our CAI conversion kit for one reason or another. Here is a customer's thread on his PRL SRI vs PRL CAI data: https://www.civicx.com/threads/prl-sri-conversion-to-cobra-cai-performance-review.21353/
Yeah, Just shows you how awesome PRL is. Took the time out to put a random troll in his place. He didn't have to explain that to us or waste his time with the "20 years of experience guy". The product is backed up with testing. Indeed Nuff Said.Nuff said.
Same here... this forum seems to be heavily favour to PRL.. i meant i respect that. I have PRL DP and FP.. their products and customer service are great. But i also have Injen CAI and FMIC... there are not even a single bit of issue, fitment are perfect and performs great!!
I am in canada as well, our car has bigger windshield washer tank than US model and ours located on driver side which completely block off the CAI mounting spot. You cant run PRL or Injen or AEM CAI with canadian model unless you order USDM windshield reservior kits from PRL.. which will cost you additional US$100ish included shipping to Canada.
That woosh sound is from the PRL CAI right?
