<p dir="ltr">41 years ago when my car was required to get smog tested, I got a waiver because it had multiple carbs and there weren't any smog kits for the car. Never had to deal with it. My modern cars all have K&n filter kits and it's never been an issue in Portland , OR. Btw rural counties do not require a smog check on any car. Another note. I just transfered the current plates from a car I sold to one I just changed ownership on. The new car did not require a smog check because the car the plates came from had just passed. Makes no sense. But it is the law.<br>

<div>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.</div>
<div>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 ?<br>
