I called the RTA again and talked to a guy who knew what he was talking about.
He said basically all it has to be for it to be legal is comply with the Australian ADR's. Now we all know that Injen comply with the Californian ADR's which are the strictest in the world. He said you could go get it engineered and get a doco, but its up to the cop to do so, basically i dont need it engineered to put it on.
Ok, most important question now..:D
Where the hell do i get one from, ozcheaper are not listing any for the time being. Hopefully a local distrubutor would be great.
Also, according to the ADR's, this is how it goes.
Petrol Vehicles
* Euro 2 in 2003/04 for all new petrol vehicles; and
* Euro 3 in 2005/06 for all new petrol vehicles.

Does anyone know what Injen rates at?
so in conclusion 04 model euro accord can have a CAI?
thats what im askingQuote:

I can understand how changing a muffler or exhaust etc could impact emmission - interested to know about the intake side.
According to http://www.injen.com/intakes.html
"Every IS system is certified or pending by the California Air Resource Board"
(the IS series intake ios the one for the TSX)
so it *should* be emissions-legal -- but it's worth checking.
I recall my mechanic brother-in-law saying that virtually all modern engines run hot -- and they do it deliberately to keep emissions down. You would assume therefore that it will be more dependent on thermostats and operating temperatures than air intake temperature -- otherwise your car might be compliant in the desert but not in the snow (for an extreme example)!
Ordered! :D
