it needs to be smogged on change of ownership after that you won't need to smog for the rest of the 5 years unless you sell it. dealers are not required to smog a vehicle pre sale but the must cover the needed repairs if it doesn't pass so if you bought it from a dealer(with the intake on it) tell them what happened and most likely they will smog it for you or fix it because it is still illegal for them to sell a vehicle that doesn't meet emissions. if you bought it private party your best route is to find a more lenient shop or sue/talk to the seller.
