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:</div><div><br></div><div><a tabindex="0" class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT5032_com_zimbra_url" href="http://www.knfilters.com/streetlegal.htm" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.knfilters.com/streetlegal.htm">http://www.knfilters.com/streetlegal.htm</a><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to leave California at any time.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br></div>Bob</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><br><div><br></div>
<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 id="AppleMailSignature">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>
