Is the cold air intake illegal in CA?
Recently, I bought a nice Civic with custom cold air intake unit installed. When I took it to the smog shop, the guy said it is not street legal in Ca and he refuse to pass it eventhough the numbers are passing with flying colors. Does anyone know why? Increase power and fuel efficiency sound pretty good to me.

This is why I don't live in Cali.
Go to a junkyard and pull a stock airbox, or spend the money for an intake that comes with a C.A.R.B. sticker.

Aem/k&n filters are cleanable, in my experience warm water with dawn to help break down tough residue, blast it out carefully and thouroughly with ur garden hose, dry it VERY thoroughly, and apply filter oil as necessary, i believe k&n sells a recharger kit with the proper oil.
