Default CARB Compliant Cold Air Intake

Hello all, I live in CA and I'm having a really hard time finding a CARB Compliant Cold Air Intake for a 2019 IS300 F-Sport, CA emissions laws are a pain ion the *** to navigate around. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Basically anything you do besides an axel back exhaust will be illegal in CA, including 99% cold air intakes. However, let me know if you find a good SMOG shop in San Diego that will look the other way (lol).

Also they're taking away our gas stoves. And f*** SDG&E for doubling our utility bills this year.

The problem is finding somewhere to buy one, all the the sites I’ve looked at won’t even ship an intake to a California address.

Got a friend or relative out of state? Ship it there, have your friend/relative reship to you, or take a road trip to pick it up.
