I had a K & N air filter on my German car when I took it from KY to Kalifor=
nia. It did not have the Kalifornia special tax paid sticker on it so I was=

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 politicia=
