Installed One Of These

Read this on the K&N website:

"K&N Intake Kits - Are they street legal?"

"This intake system is not legal for street use in the following US states:

"Arizona, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington"

"This intake system is legal for street use in most states. However, it is not legal for sale or street use in California and the above states that have adopted California Emissions Standards under Section 177 of the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970. Intake systems are subject to governmental regulation in California and certain other states adopting the emission standards of the California Air Resources Board. In order for an intake system to be legal on a specific vehicle in California and the other adopting states, the part number must receive a CARB Executive Order (EO) number. This number makes the part legal for use only on specific years, makes and models of vehicles. A decal with CARB EO number for these parts must be displayed in the engine bay to satisfy smog inspection requirements."

"All K&N 57 series intakes for North American vehicles have received CARB EO numbers and are street legal in all 50 states."

"Some intake systems we sell beginning with the prefixes 63-, 69-, 77, & RK- are not legal for use in California and other states adopting CARB emission standards. Please check our website for the specific CARB status of each intake system we sell for a specific vehicle."

So after all the 'this is pretty neat' I did after installing this thing; I have to un-do it, apparently. D*mmit
Can't P*ss off the tree huggers, I guess. OFW
And no, I've never been a thorough fine print reader.

You live in St Marys, correct? Hell, even in Calvert you should be fine. I don't think any in MD is actually enforcing CARB type stuff like looking for CARB E.O. numbers on parts. Here in St Marys, there is no emissions inspection and so nobody is going to be looking.

The only time they possibly could be (in St. Mary's) is when conducting the "visual" during the overall inspection required to transfer title to the vehicle. I know they are required to look to verify that the OEM emissions equipment is present (not functioning..just present..LOL) ...not really sure what they look for on aftermarket items.

You'd be hard pressed to actually get popped for that.

I had intakes on my last 3 cars covering close to 10 years. Never had an issue.

The only time I was pulled over for a vehicle modification was those little light up widow squirters that were cool for about 10 minutes over a decade ago.

True. I had legal tint on one vehicle but the shop wouldn't pass because they didn't want to see any tint.

Well that blows.

But that said, the state has really put it to inspection stations in recent years. Frankly, if I owned a repair shop, I wouldn't fool with conducting inspections. A lot of shops are dropping that service, or already have done so.

I believe it.

I still prefer MD's inspection process over Virginia's.

Well there is that. At least in MD, once you've passed the lone inspection, yr good to go for as long as you own it.

Except that is how "I have to.." would be interpreted by...anyone reading it.


But as noted..you can probably leave it on and never have a problem either.

That's the plan
