There is no 'tax' on installing K&N filters in California, and I've never seen
any 'sticker' on the filters. There is a sticker that comes with K&Ns--I bought
one for my '96 Ranger many years ago--that you affix in a visible location in
the engine bay that attests that the filter is in compliance with CARB rules.
We've had the truck smogged 8-9 times since then, with no issues. See:
http://www.knfilters.com/streetlegal.htm
But, why let facts get in the way of California-bashing? And, if 'Kalifornia'
is so rotten, why did you move here (you aren't required to smog an
out-of-state vehicle unless you are attempting to register it here; again, more
of them pesky, fun-spoiling facts). And, none of our Healeys require smog
testing in 'Kalifornia' (thanks Pete Wilson), and there are no mandatory,
arbitrary 'safety' or 'roadworthy' inspections.
Feel free to leave California at any time.
Regards,
Bob

I had a K & N air filter on my German car when I took it from KY to Kalifornia.
It did not have the Kalifornia special tax paid sticker on it so I was failed
at the smog test.
Rather than spend $350 to get the same thing with a sticker on it, I
reinstalled the OEM system and passed no issue. I asked to be retested and the
results were worse than with the K & N. Interesting what a little Kalifornia
EPA mandated sticker can do: support the politicians ?

Richard C
