edited thread .. my apologies .. I mis-read the K&N information

K&N 63-6012 is pending CARB approval.

K&N 57-6012 status is unknown.

Any other's out there that are CA legal .. and reviews of 'em?

I thew this out there to a tech...and I was told...that if a intake has all the corect ports for the sensors and hoses that it does not need CARB approval to be legal.

Cause I asked about my AEM Brutefroce intake that lists it as pending. How much faith to put in that....not sure in CA.

Thats news to me...but if it's true, then that's good for us. Before I read what you posted I thougth all engine mods had to be CARB (California Air Resource Board) approved. (I grew up in California, even though I live in Las Vegas now.)

Rossi ... which tech .. a Nissan tech or a SMOG tech??

My only experience w/this is w/my z31 .. fortunately (or unfortunately) I've had to go to a Test Only place the past 5 inspections ... I only changed to the CARB legal K&N FIPK just prior to last years inspection. I had the CARB sticker (just in case) .. and passed w/o incident.

IF the 57 is CA legal .. then I'll probably just go for that .. I already have the K&N recharger kit, etc ...

I was just wondering if there are any other CA "legal" systems out there??
