Hks

If I buy the HKS air intake system for my car, will it come with the CARB emissions exemption sticker?

nobaby has the HKS power flow air filter on theyre car. Thats hard to believe, anyone? I know its excempt from CARB emissions, I will be moving to Cali next year and will be replacing my K & N cone filter with the HKS. Just need to know if the expemption sticker comes with filter or would I have to get it through HKS after purchase.

Don't buy the HKS, it's a very bad filter. The foam tends to break up over time and get sucked into the engine, and the large passages through it let in a lot of dirt.

I have the filter and have had no problems with it. It was on the car when I bought it and the sticker is under the hood so Im assuming it came with it.

I have it too, and yes mine came with a sticker. Works fine. Don't know if I'm supposed to hear a hissing sound from it at idle though.
